The one big positive here is that any DP over 26k lbs carries enough fuel to fill up at either border of the state, visit where they want in the state, then leave and fill up outside the state!
Although that isn`t really isn`t an issue, because the law has been interpreted wrong by AZ. they are just hurting themselves. by filling up out of state, they stand to lose a lot of fuel tax $$$
But you're still breaking the law then. If you did into the law, there is actually a part of it that says the tax applies to fuel consumed within the state. If you fill up in Arizona on the way out, and only use 10 gallons in AZ and the other 90 gallons you bought out of Arizona, you can submit a claim to get a refund of the taxes on that 90 gallons. And there is also a part of the law that says if you purchase fuel out of state, but drive the vehicle through the state, you are supposed to pay the fuel tax on the fuel you burned while driving in Arizona! Yes, it is actually in the law.
If that is the case, then almost every RV`er in every state is breaking the law. we should all be in jail or paying hefty fines! but clearly that isn`t happening as far as out of state fuel purchases are going.
Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to say with your comment of "If that is the case, then almost every RV`er in every state is breaking the law. we should all be in jail or paying hefty fines! but clearly that isn`t happening as far as out of state fuel purchases are going." The tax issue in Arizona is specific to Arizona as a State tax. Granted, everyone is included when they purchase fuel in AZ, but this has nothing to do with other states.
