Cheapest fuel at HOU: $4.22. Fuel at SGR: $3.58.

Where you flying in from and what part of town are you heading
towards? If I'm flying in from the NE, I usually refuel over at
Anahuac (T00) -- current price for 100LL of $2.97... If your
destination is more towards the south of Houston, Brazoria Country /
Angleton (LBX) might even be an option with fuel at $2.99...

Yeah, but that's an extra stop which burns up the difference.


As always, you have to make compromises on convenience and cost...

Exactly.

Since you say that you are flying straight across south side of the
Class B, that must mean that you're coming in from the east, possibly
somewhere else along the Gulf Coast...

Mobile.

There are probably better
airports for your intended destination, but they might not have rental
cars available at that airport...

Yep, and too far from Mom's.

Personally, if I'm over on the east
side of the Houston area, I try to fill up at T00 or T90... T90 often
has cheaper fuel than T00, but they don't update their prices on
AirNav that often... Hell, if you look at the Chambers County web
page, you'll see that the last time they updated those prices was back
on 5/16/2003...

They don't have anyone over at T90 right now, but I called T00 and
they said that the county has the prices the same at both airports at
the present time...

That's a lot cheaper than around here. Cheapest around Mobile is $3.90 at
Gulf Shores.
