Have the govts(state and federal) figured out a way to tax natural gas as a transportation fuel ?

This might be the road block. IF huge amounts of the public switch to this fuel, the govts. lose a big revenue stream.
Are there laws in place to tax this on the state and federal level ?

If you can fill your automobile at your house or place of work , how does the govt. tax you on it ?

Certainly they could impose a fuel/road use tax at the pumps and I do not have a problem paying such a tax if it is used solely for that purpose.

As it is TODAY I could fill up at the one station which allows private vehicles so the mechanism is in place at the pump just only one pump.

For those who installed a NG compressor at home you should have to pay a tax and that could/should be based upon miles driven. It could be verified each year when the car must under go it’s yearly safety inspection. At that time a check of the odometer & taxes paid could be compared to see if they are reasonably related.
