At the present price of auto gas 2.20/gal and Avgas $2.91/gal flying to
work is about a wash over driving. I save and hour a day.
Cost for fly Fuel only $17.46. Cost to drive Fuel only $14.14.
I fly to work whenever possible.

I just realized that my Skylane gets about the same gas mileage as a Hummer.
I burn about 13gal per hour and go about 130 knots... 10nm per gallon, or
11.5 miles per gallon. Now granted I am going in a straight line, and 3
times as fast, but still that is awful mileage. Now my old Cessna 140 did
a lot better, 105mph at 5gph... more like about 20 miles per gallon.

Can anyone boast better mileage?
