FORM SCGR·l {REV. 1·70) I ~ ~------- ~ ~ MORE FUEL IN CALIFORNIA You are entitled to claim a refund of the tax on gasoline used for operating vehicles othcr than on state highways in California. That means that you can get back some of the tax you pay on each gallon of gasoline to operate your trailbike or racer. It is also possible to have the amount of your refund sent directly to Motorcycle Owners Riders and Enthusiasts. the only motorcycle lobby you have going for you in California. That sounds like a nifty idea and is a very painless was of supporting the organization that is working to ensure that you will have some land to burn that tax·refundable gas on. i.e., ride your scooter anyplace but on public highways: Just fill oul the handy form but, for a change, don't send it to Cycle News. Send it to: Gas Tax Refund Dept., State Controller's Office, P.O. Box 1918, Sacramento, Calif. 9 5 8 0 9 . ' , Note particularly Items 8 and 14 on the state form. You have to attach your original gas receipts to get credit. (and money back to you, or to M.O.R.E.) and you have to sign the line in Item 14 youTself. Make sure all of Item 14 is filled out completely. There are two ways to go if you would like to see M.O.R.E. get some money back out of the state tax coffers. On Line 1 of the form, you can list your name and add "or M.O.R.E." with the address: P.O. Box 26062, Sacramento, Calif. 95826, on Line 2. Method two is to list your own name and address on the fonn and attach a cover letter stating that the refund should be made directly to M.O.R.E. at the above address. It won't take much of your time to do it and think of the satisfaction you'll get out of redirecting some of the money the state has taken from you to operate your off-road machine arid redirecting it to where it's actually going to do you some good. The more gas tax refunds Russ Sanford gets, the more powerful M.O.R.E. can be as a lobby. Right now, it's a matter of survival. • - -- ~- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I J
