Default Avgas in France has reached $7.50/gal !

The title says it all.
Just received the latest price sheet from TOTAL.
Probably about the same throughout Europe.

JET-A is exactly half the price.

The difference in price between the USA and Europe is additional taxes
to support their socialist system...

Serves them right. It's just too bad that general aviation is virtually
dead in a country that served as an early incubator for flight.

Makes you wonder how people so dunder-headed ever spawned men like
Bleriot...

That was then, this is now.

The same could be said for Pasteur, Madame Curie, and Frederick Bastiat.

The same could be said for the country that spawned Franklin, Madison,
Jefferson...

which explains why the Europeans are much keener on development of the
diesel powerplant.

its been that price for the last year. Despite the fuel price rises the fall
of the dollar against the Euro has kept the price relatively stable.
