Paid $50.00 to fill my gas tank this morning.

Why would a cheap subsonic jet trainer need an expensive
low-volatility fuel (JP7) typically associated with the SR-71?

Typically? Airliners used to use the JP7 up until it was banned for
being hazardous. Rumor says some african countries still sell it at
their airports.

I think you need to check your facts on JP-7.

Airliners don't use JP7.

I doubt that any african country even has the required facilities to even
produce JP7.

It's $2.03 / gal at the little independent station on Decatur by VGT.
You
can see some guys L-39 from the station.

FYIF, the czech L-39 Albatros is jet powered, thus it runs on kerosene
(or JP7).
I wasn't saying you used 87 octane in the thing. I was saying you could see
a nice plane from that gas station as you fuel up the car. The gas station
is right next to some hangers and aircraft tiedowns and the L-39 is tied
down in perfect view of the gas station. Decatur Ave in Las Vegas crosses
Rancho Blvd and dead ends at First Flight Aviation. Next to First flight are
these hangers and the spot where the L 39 is tied down. The gas station is
on the corner of Decatur and Rancho.

Less than $1.80.9 per gallon here in SW Louisiana now. We have two major
refineries in town that refine Venzuelan crude, one is owned by
Petroleos Venzuelos so that makes sense. The further down the supply
chain you are the more expensive goods are.

Art, gas prices are down 7 cents a gallon in the last week. Why weren't you
whining about it when it was 7 cents higher?

No offence Art, but welcome to my world.

91 Octane unleaded petrol is .99cAU a litre, down from $1.04.9 a litre a
week or two back.
That's around 70cUS a litre or about $2.65US to the US toy gallon of
3.785 litres.
Unfortunately, my 95 Proton Wira needs Premium Unleaded (95 Octane)
which is around $1.05AU a litre
or 73.5cUS a litre or about $2.78US to the US toy gallon of 3.785
litres.
My creaky old 77 Nissan Patrol has to use Lead Replaced 95 octane
(Basically Premium with some sort
of non lead additive) and it's about the same price, and it's a big old
3 litre 6 cylinder and chews fuel.....
You've had a pretty good run on fuel prices over there, you've been
lucky...

Needless to say almost half the price of fuel is government excise and
10% GST on top....

In São Paulo, SP, Brasil ...

87 octane gas = R$ 2.00/liter = US$ 2.52/US gallon
91 octane gas = R$ 2.15/liter = US$ 2.71/US gallon
