I don't know about that. What specific laws are statutes indicate that? And - in regard to road maintenance - we are already paying for it - even without the fuel-tax. In 1979 - Jimmy Carter got federal legislation passed that allows citizens to make a limited amount of "home-brew" motor-fuel and also alcohol for drinking - free of federal taxation. I don't know what ever happened with the home-brew beer and such. But, I believe the federal expemption is still on the books. An individual was - and I think - still is - legally allowed to produce up to 1200 gallons per year - without paying any federal taxes. But - state taxes are different. It was then, and is now - up to each state to tax . . . or not to tax. Some states - at present - do not tax for people running diesels on WVO. Where I live in New York State - for some forms or alternative-energy - it up to each town - for certain tax exemption issues (mostly solar electric and property tax stuff). There are also many more laws and taxes that come into play when selling fuel - and also when modifiying a vehicle to run on alternative fuel. But - not every fuel that is used to run motor-vehicles it taxed - yet. Suppose you burn heating-oil to run a generator - to charge your batteries in your electric car?? Untaxed as far as I know. And, suppose you build a wood-smoke-collector and drive your gas-engine car on firewood? Still untaxed for now. I suppose if you drove to town in your Stanley Steamer - you would not be taxed either. You can read this legal mumbo-jumbo forever - and if you fully understand it all - you are a heck of a lot smarter than I am. Internal Revenue Service 26 CFR Parts 40, 42, 48, and 602 [TD 8659] RIN 1545-AR92 Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Excise Tax; Registration Requirements (ii) Exclusion; minor blending. A mixture described in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section is not blended taxable fuel if, during the calendar quarter in which the blender removes or sells the mixture, all such mixtures removed or sold by the blender contain, in the aggregate, less than 400 gallons of liquid described in paragraph (c)(1)(i)(B) of this section.

Today's Featured Article -
Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
