This extra weight increases fuel burn, thus a local fuel tax could potentially increase overall fuel consumption. [24] To avoid increased tankering, a worldwide aviation fuel tax has been proposed. [by whom?] Australia and the United States oppose a worldwide aviation fuel tax, but a number of other countries have expressed interest. [citation ...
