CA boaters may want to top off tanks before Halloween

[Top Hatt Craig]

"Nov. 1, 2017: The 1.75 percent diesel fuel sales tax will increase to 5.75 percent." Not sure if that includes red dyed diesel, red dyed diesel being exempt from the Base Diesel Fuel Excise Tax, which goes from 16 to 36 cents.Anybody know?

 

[RonNP]

Not 100% positive but I believe red dyed diesel is exempt

Night time is the right time for me.

The Socialist Sanctuary Republic of California has to raise money to pay benefits to its illegal immigrants

They're not illegal immigrants. They are "undocumented criminals"

If anyone really believes that gas tax increase will go to repair roads, then I have some nice swamp land for sale cheap, perfect for building your dream house. In Calif. we have heard this tune before and the tax money ends up in the general fund where it is wasted on some “do good” projects. John

Leave and let someone else pay for the BS. If enough hardworking people leave the peoples republic of california will crash and burn.

Off road (red-dyed) diesel is tax exempt. Although I live in Nevada I keep my boat in a California marina and researched that when the legislation passed. I notice that someone noted the fuel tax increase was to help provide services to illegal immigrants. If my information is correct the much of the tax increase is going to help pay for one way bus fare to Florida for these folks - enjoy their company.

I have to put up with enough political BS on Facebook and the daily news by the idiots on far fringes of both sides of the spectrum, I don't need it on the Forums that I use for gathering information for my favorite hobby. I know I just violated that but I couldn't resist it.

Or you could do what adults in a civilized society do, and just not read it and/or ignore it. It takes more effort to be offended than it does to click that X and close the screen.

Pm your address and I'll send some hot cocoa and puppies.

You should heed you own advise then.

I added 206 gallons for a cost of $616 yesterday in Ventura. The gas guy at Dave's Gas told me they will be charging the extra tax on Wednesday. Lets hope that is not the case.

BTW averaged 0.8 NMPG with running the generator at 1100 rpm going 8 to 9 kts.

I'm not offended; why would I need advice?

 

[Boatsb]

Offended no

Offensive yes

 

[Top Hatt Craig]

Bummer!

 

[RonNP]

That's almost a 30 cent increase in diesel prices. The tax is only 20 cents per gallon or for me an extra $220 per fill up

 

[Top Hatt Craig]

Well shoot
