ALL what you need to talk with IRS like POTUS is APU engine manufacturer fuel consumption data + hour meter record for tax period.
P.S.
These two birds, is it media went to take pictures from the sky on this caravan marching north in Mexico? -

You guys are missing a few points, this isn't about the IRS, it is about IFTA which is about taxes based on distance and position. Some of you think you can do this but if you run in say 30 states, you have to subtract the specific state's taxed for every one of those states based on the hours of the APU was run and it gets stupid because how complicated it is and to beat all of it if your numbers are off, and they think there is a problem, they will audit you and that my friends is a big ****** of a thing, IRS audits are easy compared to an IFTA audit.
PE_T Thanks this. -
I thought the op questions was about ifta. Meaning in order to figure put his mpg. He needed to no how much fuel he burned÷miles driven. Since fuel used in the apu was not burned in the engine. If that amount wasnt subtracted then his mpg would show leas than it was. Therefore possibly making him to pay more.
Ex 800 miles divided by 100 gallons =8mpg
But if you subtract the 15 gallons used in apu
800 miles divided by 85 gallons= 9.4mpg.
And that makes a difference. But I could be wrong, ask my wife I often am. -
I’m so glad I went with batteries in my 389. I was sick and tired of dealing with Diesel APU.
