Why not, WTF does it matter? it's only a number. The fact is , the cost
is going to drive up the cost well and beyond. Hell, even filling a Polo
up is going to cost you the best part of $100, 60 Euro, 10,000 yen 300
ringgits 12,000 naira or whatever. What matters is how long you will
have to break your back to earn your day of leisure. It's more than it
was, but it's less than 99.5% of the population of the planet.

Most likely the price in euros is staying relatively flat, while the $$$ rate is rising much more quickly...

No, actually. though you woudl think so. I'm in naziland at the moment
and the pirce of fuel at their pumps has skyrocketed over the last few
weeks as well with regular going for about 1.50 euro per litre which, if
I'm not mistaken, is up about 10% over about six or eight weeks ago. And
diseasel is even worse.

OK - considering the responses, there's some ambiguity in the original
post.

The price is not ambiguous - these are prices published by TOTAL today,
"at the pump" prices for cardholders.

The wet rental rates for the 182 are also as published.

The ambiguity is in using dollars, because the dollar is probably
"artificially" devaluated at this time. Listing these figures in dollars
is in the interest of comprehension, because the newsgroup is largely US
centered.

One could argue that the dollar figure exaggerates the case because of
the artificially high dollar/Euro exchange rate, but on the other side,
European petroleum markets profit from some buffer, because brut prices
are in dollars, not Euros.

I therefore maintain the reality, which is that Avgas is at $11.50/gal,
or EUR2/l if you prefer in France today. Irrefutable fact.
