    I don't know about other states, but here in Connecticut you can apply to the state once a year for a refund of the state portion of motor fuel taxes paid on fuel used for off highway use.

    Not in Wisconsin to my knowledge (someone please correct me) as when I had my Cherokee with the auto fuel STC I religiously kept track of it for a year and then was told I couldn't apply for a refund or deduct on my taxes.

    Here in Alabama it can only be waived for agricultural use.

    state by state thing, i bet. i know arizona and florida do it because i've lived both places. apply to state, they pull it from the road tax section, apply it to the aviation tax section (both state and federal), and refund the difference. at least, they say they move it from fund to fund, and i trust the government. if aviators don't file, or if the state doesn't allow us to file, then the aviation fund gets shortchanged when we use autogas in aircraft. not good.
