What are you guys paying a gallon?
It's goes up everyday here at RYY


IAD $7.80 and no I'm not buying any at that price :-)


It seems more and more airports which cater to airlines have outrageously
higher 100 LL prices. A quick check of airnav.com today shows:

At LAS 100 LL is $7.80 while at nearby VGT it is $5.04 ($4.84 self-serve).

SFO was $6.78 as of April 8. OAK (which is both air carrier and lots of GA)
is $5.80. SJC is $6.41 with nearly adjacent RHV at $5.55.

LAX no longer has 100 LL. Jet-A there is $7.61. The two nearest air
carrier airports are KLGB (15 miles) at $6.24 ($6.40 for Jet-A) and BUR
(16 miles) at $6.25 ($6.40 for JET-A). Nearby GA airports HHR (4 miles) is
$5.75 ($5.05 self-serve) and SMO (5 miles) is $5.35 ($4.85 self-serve)

BOS shows $7.14 as of May 15, while nearby GHG shows $4.99.

ORD was $7.57 on April 22, while GYY is today at $5.35.

DEN was $6.81 on May 14, FTG is $4.99 ($4.67 self-serve) today.

Where an airport had multiple fuel providers, I used the one with the
lowest price for this comparison.

Several years ago, I was told, but have not been able to verify, that the
fuelers at an air carrier airport must test their fuel every day and
have an expiration date on how long they can keep it before it must be
dumped. Some of the big air carrier airports have so little demand for 100
LL that they only get a small tanker load at a time. Can anyone confirm if
this is correct?
