I imagine that is an issue but these days you have plug-in electrics and now the push to 
home CNG filling stations for CNG fueled vehicles.  Wonder how they are assessing road tax 
on those vehicles?  I know when I used to run a vehicle on propane, I had to buy from 
propane "motor fuel" stations, although some times you could fill up at a regular bottle 
gas place.  Problem there was the motor fuel was less expensive than the bottle gas even 
with the road tax added, since you were paying bulk vs. retail+sales tax pricing.
