First fairly long XC since ownership.

You guys are so lucky. It costs the equivalent of $6.15 per gallon
for fuel in England and the cheapest landing fee I have paid on top
of that was $12 and they are often much higher with facilities that
you would consider as condemned.

Is that USD 6.50 per U.S. gallon or USD 6.50 per Imperial gallon?

Per US Gallon basically $1.62 per litre, and at an exchange rate of about £1
= £1.69 and 4 litres to a US gallon. Looking at it per imperial
gallon.......... well you just want to cry.

I would love it we could STC the petrol engines out and replace them with
diesels at $0.40 per litre

GBP 1.00/liter sounds pretty brutal -- my sympathies. I can see why
something like a USD 40K diesel conversion might be tempting, though
even then, it would take a while to make up the extra cost. In
Canada, we're paying half that, and I know that it can get even lower
at some US airports, so the cost of a diesel conversion is much harder
to justify.


All the best,
