here is what adot says:
What is the rate of tax on use fuel?
Use fuel (diesel) in Arizona is taxed at two levels:
If the use fuel is used in the propulsion of a use class motor
vehicle on a highway in this state, the tax rate is $.26 for
each gallon.
A "use class motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle that uses use
fuel on a highway in this state and that is a road tractor, truck
tractor, truck or passenger carrying vehicle having a declared
gross vehicle weight of more than twenty-six thousand pounds or
having more than two axles.
1.
2. If the use fuel is used in the propulsion of a light class motor
vehicle (such as a pickup truck), or an exempt vehicle (certain
school buses, government and non-profit vehicles – see ARS 28-
5432.C ) on a highway in this state, the use fuel is taxed at the
same rate per gallon as the motor vehicle fuel tax ($.18 per
gallon).
(See ARS 28-5601, 5605, 5606).
The pump stickers leave off all referance to passenger carrying vehicle.
Motorhomes are not passenger carrying. So we must be OK
So, you never carry a passenger? I normally have at least one "passenger" sitting in what is commonly referred to as the "passenger seat." Interesting... like others here, I have a tag and must pay the higher tax. Frankly, the argument should be that all RVs should be excluded from the additional tax like they are in every other state.
