The federal Gv't gives an exemption of 400 gallons per quarter to homebrew biodiesel people. There are a handful of states that do this also. On Sat, 10 Mar 2007 10:10:22 -0600, Marshall Booth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The purpose of road fuel taxes is to fund roads and transit systems. As >

The purpose of road fuel tax is to generate more income for the state. It IS NOT REQUIRED OF ANY STATE EXCEPT MISSOURI that road fuel taxes be spent on roads, bridges, etc. Your road fuel taxes probably pay the salaries of the governor's housekeeping staff. If all road fuel and other road relat

The purpose of road fuel taxes is to fund roads and transit systems. As long as you don't use the roads - you shouldn't have to pay road fuel taxes (and as far as I can tell - it's NOT required). When you make your own fuel, you still need to pay to use the roads! If you don't pay for the road
