Does anyone know of a website that helps find cheap fuel in your area
or along a flightplan?

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the
mashed potatoes.

The only downside is that you're dependent on people reporting into Airnav
what their fuel prices are. I know my airport isn't up to date (although
most of the other nearby fields are). I guess I should really setup an
Airnav account so that I can update the price myself.

You can set the planner to only use prices updated in the last 30,60, or
90 days.

They charge for the fuel reports. You have a choice for annual membership
or single use charge. I've never used them, but they claim they
periodically contact each FBO to get current fuel prices.

When did they change things to require an account for you to update prices?
Every time I got back from a trip, I updated fuel prices for my stops. Don't
recall ever having to log in.

Well... the update screen has a login box at the top... I assumed it
wouldn't let you submit the update without entering a login ID/passwd...

Yea. When I just tried it without logging in, it complains.

Did you ever log in before? maybe they have a cookie saved for you so
you don't have to log in. Did you ever log in and click "remember me" or
something like that?

Well, I would never select a "remember me" button. I don't remember ever having
to log in, but it's been a couple years since I had occasion to update prices.

I went and looked at the procedure for setting up an account and saving a cookie
to remember the login was one of the selections. I don't have it up in front of
me right now, but I think it defaults to save the cookie.

Nope. Paulo put that on their on purpose and disabled cookies to log back
in. HIs stated purpose and observation was that unscrupulous FBOs would log
in and put the price of their gas far below market and when the hapless
pilot showed up with dry tanks would sell at their normal inflated price.

He wanted to know WHO was changing prices and when. I think he has a point.
