Flying is so much nicer with avgas under $3 (USD)
Airnav had FTG at $2.99 so I called to verify supply. Turns out that
they dropped 100LL to $2.94 a gallon today. On the way back home the plane flew nicer, the air was smoother and all was right in my world. Ron Lee |

That's the truth. Got some for $2.79 at Kennett, MO the other day.

Wow, we're happy to be paying only $5/gal self-serve at SAC now. Cheap
gas!! -Robert Ron Lee wrote: Airnav had FTG at $2.99 so I called to verify supply. Turns out that they dropped 100LL to $2.94 a gallon today. On the way back home the plane flew nicer, the air was smoother and all was right in my world. Ron Lee |

Still $4.38 at my home base, too. Haven't bought gas at home for
probably a year now. Most of my flying is cross country and I always plan a fuel stop an hour or two out. -- Gene Seibel Gene & Sue's Aeroplanes - http://pad39a.com/gene/planes.html Because we fly, we envy no one. mike regish wrote: Still $4.19 at my home base. mike "Gene Seibel" wrote in message oups.com...

That's even better than the $3.85 we were paying before the latest blow up of prices. btw - the only thing the fuel prices did was to incentize me not to run at 75% power. After upgrading my 140 to 160hp, I was playing with the "speed increase" but have gotten over that now. At Spruce Creek (7FL6) it is $3.30; at Ormond Beach (OMN) it is $2,86; I have reverted to my mogas STC, so I am paying $2.20. |

Paid over $6.00 a gallon a few weeks ago in Philadelphia. I was one of only
a few piston planes on the ramp, and most of the stuff there cost 10-20 times more than my plane. King Air 200s were low end planes on that ramp. |

Airnav had FTG at $2.99 so I called to verify supply. Turns out that
they dropped 100LL to $2.94 a gallon today. On the way back home the plane flew nicer, the air was smoother and all was right in my world. It's interesting that the differential between avgas and mogas has dropped from nearly $2 per gallon, to less than 75 cents per gallon. Over time, it's averaged about $1.10 per gallon less, so either (a) the price of car gas is being held artificially high, or (b) avgas is about to go back up. As an optimist, I'm voting for "a"... :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
