Well, cheap for around here, anyway.

If you're flying along the central Gulf Coast, it's $2.39/gal self serve
at St. Elmo (2R5) near Mobile.


Was at KBFM yesterday, AirNav has them priced at $3.60, we paid $2.60 at
3R7 before we left, the Lancair Super ES we're flying carried enough to
fly to Mobile and back on just 2 of the 4 tanks...

Going back tomorrow for Southern to finish the certifications and
activations (WSI weather and terrain) on the BlueMountain and MX20
systems. They worked all day yesterday (got there just after dawn and
left at dusk) and got it IFR certified. Altitude still needs to be fed
to the MX20 for terrain info. Didn't have any weather, so don't know if
the subscription has been downloaded via satellite yet or not (they said
it would take a day or so), they got his credit card number though...

1.2 hours there, 1.8 hours back, 480 miles nautical. Hobbs rolled 40
hours on the way back...

It leaves Dec. 26th for Las Vegas and installation of a supercharger
(C IO-550). Long trip for its seat cushions, heads back to Alabama in
Feb. for leather interior...

I forwarded your message to the planes owner... ;-)
