Well, boys and girls, here it comes. $4/gallon gas in America. This
will translate into $7/gallon avgas soon enough.

You'll survive. People in other countries have been paying similar
prices for years.


But not you since you can't drive and you can't fly.

actually keeping them happy in the end.

We're currently paying about £0.94 a litre I think. According to XE.com
that's $1.98 or Euro 1.34

As you say, something like 75% of that goes straight to HMG in tax.

And I resemble the implication that we like to complain

No, I didn't say that,. I said it gives you guys yet another excuse to
whine about how your govmint is abusing you.

Having aid that, credit where it's due. I didn't hear one single whine
about the Rugby!

I was absolutely flabbergasted I have to tell you.

Anthony, how much do you per for a gallon of avgas?

I don't buy avgas myself (or any other type of fossil fuel).

Yes, it;s pretty obvious what sort of fossil you commonly interact with.

$4/gallon for regular will probably mean $4.50 for hi-test and $5.50 for
avgas. Not a lot of difference, but still not $7

I use car gas in my plane. I filled it two weeks ago for $2.89 per
gallon. I flew to LaCrosse, WI that same day and paid $5 per gallon
for avgas.

I don't think $7/gallon avgas will be much of a stretch.

Maybe with another million troops we could occupy both Iran and Iraq
and get a special deal.

Don't worry. In 12 months we'll have Hillary pulling us out (literally
and figuaratively) of the Middle East, and then our kids will be
forced to return to fight the Islamo-Fascist Iranians in another
decade or two -- only by then they'll have nukes.

Alas, Jimmy Carter had the chance to fix this problem way back in
1979...

The worst part is I dont see any end in sight.

Yeah, it's pretty funny when the Left cries that we're "In Iraq only
for the cheap oil!"

Damn, if this is the "cheap" oil, imagine how bad it would be if we
hadn't taken out Saddam?

Oh, well. High gas prices should really help Light Sport sales, with
those tiny little engines sipping 4 gph...

Well we're already paying $1.64(NZ) a litre for super (road) so we
must be well over the $7 per gallon avgas
