Our local fuel prices just went up again!
Sometime over the last week, our FBO at Syracuse, NY, quietly raised 100LL
fuel prices again. It is now $3.88 per gallon, which I believe has surpassed the fuel prices at Signature of Boston's Logan Airport. I just had to vent. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

... Come over to Europe. 100LL price in France recently jumped to around 1.35 euros/litre. Which is roughly $6.20/gallon. Is that including VAT? Sounds slightly cheaper than here in the UK. I think I last paid 96p a litre. Might have gone up now with the latest increases in car petrol. Paul |

Speaking of fuel prices, I was just checking Airnav to see what kinds of
savings I might get if I bought fuel off my own airport. It may not make sense economically, but prices are getting high enough that I'm just plain offended at wide disparities. I found a few airports with significantly lower prices than that found at Paine Field (KPAE). One is Oak Harbor, where the fuel is even 25 cents less expensive than other neighboring "cheap" fuel locations. $2.55/gal for 100LL at the last reported time. Anyone know any caveats about buying fuel there? Is it cheap just because they want to attract the business? Or is there something "wrong" with it? For the record, other relatively cheap fuel in the Puget Sound area appears to be Thun Field in Puyallup (I can confirm, having just bought fuel there a couple of weeks ago), Tacoma Narrows in Gig Harbor, and Jefferson County in Port Townsend. They're all selling 100LL for under $3.00/gal. Pete |

$2.39 in the Billings area. Car gas is on the way back down too. We topped
out at $1.99. Now it is $1.94 "N. Funk" wrote in message ... Wow, and I was complaning today when I had to pay $2.65 per gallon.

Our field just went to $2.34 on weekdays. We have consistantly been the
cheapest fuel around. The city and the advisory board (which I was chairman years ago) decided to go on volumn rather than margin. After the 24 hours credit card reader was installed our sales really went up. I think we are pumping more in a month that we did in a year. We are looking at getting a larger tank, because we cannot take a full tank truck and that costs extra.
