Agreed!! I fight this same logic on why I have to pay fuel "highway use" taxes for my boat? I don't trailer much and if I do, I'm paying that tax with the fuel I use in my truck. Many southern states allow you to get this tax back during tax return time (except my shitty state). While its not a huge expense on my current boat, my previous boat had a 150 gallon tank and got approx 2.0mpg at best cruise (35mph burning 15-16 gph). We'd burn 50+ gallons a weekend chasing fish / hanging out at the sandbar every weekend from May to September and this was back when fuel was $3-4 a gallon.Do I get a tax rebate for staying off road since the fuel tax is used for roads?
I agree we already pay this in a multitude of ways.
Support it? Nope.
Will it happen? With the way things are going? Probably.
They're gonna make us pay one way or another.
