what has happened? I have been seeing multiple FBO's charging for
using the ramp from 10 to 25 bucks to park per day also RIPPING me
off for fuel. Charging almost 4.50++ a gallon for AVGAS. PLUS county
flowage tax!

I now tanker my gas auto gas ($ 2.30 gal) screw them with the
RIPPOFF charges!!

The new long range O & N tank will PAY for itself in 100
hrs!!!! When they ask if I need fuel
with JOY!!!!!!!! i tell them NO!

It's not my fault that they screwed themselves with a ****TY lease
from the local county!

One FBO charges about 4.75+ per gallon PLUS $ 20 to park each day
told me that the County gets 30 % of thier GROSS revenue, PLUS a base
RENT!

The COUNTY thru the FBO gets 10 bucks to park!

Only a FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL would enter into that lease!

I have been told that if an airport takes ANY $$$$ from the Federal
Gov't for airport improvements that they cannot stop me from filling
MY tanks with auto gas on the ramp.

Is this true??

Comments???

Well, if the FBO is run by someone with any intelligence they will
charge as much as pilots will still pay. If you think the FBO is
charging way too much, you should become rich by charging 10 cents
less and take all their business.

At Sac Exec only one operation sells fuel. Another FBO recently bought
several fuel trucks (which the fuel company fills on site, avoiding
the need to transport the fuel). Once the FBO made it known that he
was considering selling his fuel to the public, the price from the one
fuel seller dropped about $1.50/gal (self-serve) over night.
