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

Perhaps... I've never really calculated it out... If I'm in the area,
I fill up over there... Since I'm just boring holes in the sky anyway,
I might as well bore holes near places with cheap fuel... grin

Yeah. My "warm up the oil" flight is a hop down to Gulf Shores for fuel,
with a quick side trip along the beach to check for sharks.

Mobile.

Flight planning for that should be easy -- FOLLOW I-10 to TX-6, right
on TX-6 to SGR... grin

I get a great deal of smug satisfaction flying over the holiday traffic on
I-10 thinking "If it wasn't for flying, we'd be stuck in that!"

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

Seems that Chambers County is trying to get people to fly into their
county and do business... All in all, it's a fairly rural area...
Close enough to Houston that you could live out there and commute to
work in downtown Houston, but far enough that most people aren't
willing... Elevation above sea level is probably the reason that they
haven't created any major housing developments out there yet since
there are still other places to expand without having to deal with
that problem...

I would suggest that you give me a shout once you get here, but I'm
headed out to CYYZ tomorrow...

Next time.
