At our site (867ft MSL) in hot, humid Georgia we use about 1.5 gal for the
average 3000 ft tow. Our 265 hp Pawnee is STC'd for auto gas, which we have
used for about the past 5 years or so without difficulty. I just bought some
Avgas for a Mooney at 3.85/gal.
So worst case 4.00/gal, 2 gal for 4000 ft = $8.00
As always, fuel is the least expensive part of operating an airplane (within
certain limits of use), and the fixed costs are the most expensive.

At my local FBO (Mt. Valley Airport ,California) it cost $68 for a 4,000

be the first
FBO with a $100 4,000 ft. tow?

Any comments?

We've almost had that in Hollister for the last year. A 4,000 foot tow
(at $2.10/hundred) plus the $5 hookup cost clocks in at $89.
