Is general aviation dying?

Our airport has been much more active this last month, after a VERY
down period. From January through June, I'll bet flying was down 30%
from the year prior -- but starting right before Oshkosh things really
started to pick up.
I'm hopeful that it will continue, as people come to grips with $4-per-
gallon avgas....
Let's see: at $185 or so an hour operating cost at about 15-16gph, another
dollar a gallon is an increase of about 8% in operating costs.
Get a grip! :~)
