$640.00 to fill the tanks...
Jay Honeck wrote: Tony Snow, "technical advisor" for our aviation video webpage (Tony is retired RAF, and has forgotten more about aviation than I'll ever know), confirmed for me today that it would cost $640+ for me to top off Atlas -- our Cherokee Pathfinder -- in Great Britain. Imagine! $640 to go fly! This *might* explain why there are only 9 registered Cherokee 235s in all of Britain, no? Not to worry, however. Tony has confirmed that the streets in his hometown *are* paved with gold, and that everyone eats steak daily, for free, thanks to the taxes those remaining 9 pilots are paying... Petrol here is $7.92 (NZ) per gallon. AFAIK we don't have any Pathfinders :-)
