This fuel may be kill GA. It costing 300 plus now to put gas in the Bonanza. My buddy parked his Barron. He says it just not fun knowing how much it costing to fly. Looks like it will never get better either. How do the guys in these Jets do it. |

Bonanza. My buddy parked his Barron. He says it just not fun knowing how much it costing to fly. Strangely, this weekend our ramp was FULL of light twins. Haven't seen any of those things flying since gas hit $4.50/gallon, but I guess the holiday weekend brought 'em out of mothballs. Most of the twins at our airport haven't moved since last fall. We paid over $300 to top the tanks in Atlas (our Cherokee Pathfinder) in March (in St. Louis) -- and it really made us stop and think. That's mostly what made us start looking for a smaller "fun" plane -- which we just bought yesterday (with two other partners). It's a '48 Ercoupe, and it'll sip mogas at about 4.8 gph, with my arm hanging out the open top... :-) Where there's a will, there's a way. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Of all people, I would have thought you would grasp this concept of reduced gas/oil usage and its reasons and consequences. 1) People react and don't think through the entire costs of aircraft use and ownership 2) Gas is a percentage but not a staggering pecentage of aircraft usage 3) When people react somewhat mindlessly (ahem, what did that fillup cost you before, $250?), they pull back on usages. 4) Your twin-engine planes were out for fun, this is the first pull back phase. 5) Many people are slightly to waaaaaay in over their haeads with plane ownership to begin, the increase in much of anything shoots them into loan default, minimized usage or quitting all together. How many people do you know that will drive 1, 2, 10 extra miles to "save" 10 cents a gallon? |
