Default Avgas Where is the ceiling?

a 50% increase in just a few days is airway robbery

Oil going up $3/ barrel for raw crude does not equate to $1.60 per gallon of
refined fuel.

Local county aviation departments are getting upset that the local hanger
owners and tie down renters are not buying as much fuel now as last year..
so their "flowage fee" revenues are off.

It was $3.80 / gallon at the county self service pumps last weekend,
interesting to see what it is this weekend.

100 LL just jumped from $3.82 to $4.54 at our airport, and at HAF we
traditionally represent the lower costs for our area (SF Bay) Where will
it end? to the pessimists in the room this feels like the begning of the
end for those of us who pinch our pennies to get a little air time in once
or twice a week. It doesn't seem that long ago that it was just above
$2/Gal.
