I know of no easy procedure to avoid that tax except distill your own fuel from plant materials you grew.

Here in NV you can get a refund for nonroad use, but it is purposefully annoying to persue.

Most airports and marinas have a use tax applied to the fuel, and since government is aware people will attempt to eschew that tax and use it in their autos, it is equivalent to the road tax.

The stationary users of road taxed electrical would probably violently revolt if charged thusly.
