Default $5.64 for a gallon of "Chateau de AvGas"

Compare your story to this one:http://www.sun-sentinel.com/business...29nbjun29,0,55...

$5+ for a gallon of gas doesn't seem so bad... to me anyway.


Who-wee, you ain't kidding.

There is no way I could do anything like the 2.5 day vacation my son
and I just enjoyed in anything but a GA plane. Atlas is a magic
carpet, and if it takes $5+ per gallon to make him go, well, so be
it.

Actually, flying commercial would be my *last* choice for any kind of
a vacation, nowadays. I've only had to do it once since 9/11, and it
sucked so badly I don't ever want to do it again.

Which still doesn't justify Ephraim selling gas almost $2 per gallon
higher than everyone else, of course...
