          related penalty in an amount equal to 20 percent of the portion             
          of the underpayment of tax attributable to negligence or                    
          disregard of rules or regulations.  Sec. 6662(a) and (b).                   
          Section 1.6001-1(a), Income Tax Regs., requires taxpayers to keep           
          adequate records of their deductions and expenses.  Petitioner              
          disregarded this regulation.  In addition, petitioner failed to             
          exercise due care in claiming a tax credit for the alleged                  
          purchase of 99,000 gallons of gasoline.  Accordingly, petitioner            
          is liable for the accuracy-related penalty.                                 
               All other contentions raised by the parties are either moot            
          or without merit.                                                           
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
          Decision will be entered                                                    
                                             pursuant to Rule 155.
