Around here, I'm paying about $1.60+/gal for regular unleaded, and
$3.50/gal
(that's no typo...three dollars, fifty cents) for 100LL.

Not quite. Self-serve 100LL at PAE is $2.999, as of 8 pm this evening
(2/26);
hasn't changed in at least two weeks.

What do you mean "not quite"? I have operational reasons for not using the
self-serve pumps. If I'm going to have to deal with a hot restart of the
engine, I might as well buy gas at an airport where it's significantly
cheaper.

$3.50/gal is my price. It's available cheaper at the airport, but at the
cost of added wear and tear on the engine, starter, and battery.

There's no "not quite" about it, thank you very much. $3.50/gal is what I
pay, which is exactly what I said.

Least of your expenses? Only if you hardly ever fly.

You obviously have no clue about what I spend on maintenance, insurance, and
hangar. Those are by far the most significant portions of owning my
airplane, and I could fly triple the number of hours each year without
changing that.

How about you stick to making statements about things you actually know
about, and let the rest of us make statements about things WE know about
without you acting like you know better when you obviously don't.
