A wet rental C-182S is at $375.
Fill'er up and you're out a grand . . .


Why are you using dollars?


Why not, WTF does it matter? it's only a number. The fact is , the cost
is going to drive up the cost well and beyond. Hell, even filling a Polo
up is going to cost you the best part of $100, 60 Euro, 10,000 yen 300
ringgits 12,000 naira or whatever. What matters is how long you will
have to break your back to earn your day of leisure. It's more than it
was, but it's less than 99.5% of the population of the planet.

Most likely the price in euros is staying relatively flat, while the $$$ rate is rising much more quickly...
