We may see the answer soon. 10Ponies, the guy who got the ticket, says he's going to court on it and will post the judges' decision.
Until then, I think this post has opened up a very lively discussion but we're not lawmakers. Lots of laws are ambiguous, either intentionally or unintentionally, the way they're written. My experience with motor vehicle codes has been that the lawmakers seem to intertwine commercial and non commercial vehicle laws without actually spelling out their differences. It would be nice to have one code for commercial vehicles and one for non commercial, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
IMHO, the real purpose of this thread is to alert anyone buying fuel in Arizona to be careful that they are using the correct pump. I'll continue to pay the extra 8 cents as I can buy 12,500 gallons of fuel for that $1000 fine. I've spoken to one of the supervisors in the tax collection arm of the DOT and he assured me of two things. One, RVs are included and two, they're stepping up enforcement. That was good enough for me....be safe...Dennis
