keep the exhaust valve seats coated...

KORL and full serve (where the flying group I participate in buys gas)
$6.54/gal. We get a discount from that, I think it's $.75/gal.

Must be nice to be able to buy alcohol free autogas.

Is there a Reader's Digest version for those of us with ADD.

Latest at my airport is $4.21 a gallon for 100LL. Higher in the Dallas,
TX area. Getting out of sight. I am pulling the MP back and saving a little.

Are you kidding?

I pay more than that for car gas.

$4.95 for self serve at Chandler, AZ (KCHD). Flying to Las Cruces, NM
(KLRU) on Sat. and looking forward to paying $5.39 :-(

I make that flight about once a month and it's starting to get pricey.
I'm planning on leaving early and flying slow this weekend to cut down on the
fuel burn.

Nope, that is what is on the website. Actually, I do not think they have
updated it to the last delivery and the price is $4.35/gal. We have only
a 6000 gal tank. Next week another 6000 gallon tank will be added and we
can take full loads thereby not paying a split load. Hopefully, this
will lower it a little. Non-leaded regular just went up to $3.74 around
here. The US needs a realistic energy policy, but we'll leave that to a
different thread.

Basically the article says George Bush should be impeached.

It seems more and more airports which cater to airlines have outrageously
higher 100 LL prices. A quick check of airnav.com today shows:

At LAS 100 LL is $7.80 while at nearby VGT it is $5.04 ($4.84 self-serve).

SFO was $6.78 as of April 8. OAK (which is both air carrier and lots of GA)
is $5.80. SJC is $6.41 with nearly adjacent RHV at $5.55.

LAX no longer has 100 LL. Jet-A there is $7.61. The two nearest air
carrier airports are KLGB (15 miles) at $6.24 ($6.40 for Jet-A) and BUR
(16 miles) at $6.25 ($6.40 for JET-A). Nearby GA airports HHR (4 miles) is
$5.75 ($5.05 self-serve) and SMO (5 miles) is $5.35 ($4.85 self-serve)

BOS shows $7.14 as of May 15, while nearby GHG shows $4.99.

ORD was $7.57 on April 22, while GYY is today at $5.35.

DEN was $6.81 on May 14, FTG is $4.99 ($4.67 self-serve) today.

Where an airport had multiple fuel providers, I used the one with the
lowest price for this comparison.

Several years ago, I was told, but have not been able to verify, that the
fuelers at an air carrier airport must test their fuel every day and
have an expiration date on how long they can keep it before it must be
dumped. Some of the big air carrier airports have so little demand for 100
LL that they only get a small tanker load at a time. Can anyone confirm if
this is correct?

The larger airports around Mobile are a dollar+ more.

Just picked a friend up there he was dropping off a plane. Not much in Los
Cruces.
Had 40 knot winds getting there I averaged 200 plus almost all the way there
from RAL. Took quite a bit longer getting back. Lucked out though when the
sun set the wind died and the BO gat back to 165 knots. Great trip..
