My plane cost $40 yesterday

Hmm. $40 / 1.65 = £24.24.
At £0.96 a litre, that's 25.25 litres.
25.25 litres = 6.825 USG.
After allowing for a take-off, that's about 45 minutes in my plane.
If I don't go too fast that is. Doesn't pay for the landing fee
anywhere though.

A top-up for me costs about £90-£100 (100-110 litres).

How are you ever going to do a $100 hamburger at those prices?

Because I fly, I envy no one.



I spent $40 on my plane yesterday. That topped off the tanks and put a
quart of oil in the engine. With this I was able to fly from home to
Houghton, and back, which is about 150 miles round trip.

I haven't spent $40 on plane all in the same day since the last annual.[1]

My plane is eating me out of house and home. I hope your planes
are cheaper than mine.

[1] OK, hanger rent is $110/month, but that is a fully enclosed nice hanger
with concrete floor and such.

When I bought my plane 5 years ago, I set up a budget for running the
thing. If I cannot live in that budget (which hasn't changed) I better
give up. Hangar rent has gone up, our fuel is holding OK ($1.84/gal),
insurance jumped up then settled back down. I do owner assisted annuals,
change my own oil, etc. When I go X-C I usually have to pay over
$2.30/gal because of the locations I go to.

Ain't if fun to own an plane?
