100 LL just jumped from $3.82 to $4.54 at our airport, and at HAF we
traditionally represent the lower costs for our area (SF Bay) Where will
it end? to the pessimists in the room this feels like the begning of the
end for those of us who pinch our pennies to get a little air time in once
or twice a week. It doesn't seem that long ago that it was just above
$2/Gal.

You've got a loooooong way to go before you match the $10 we pay here in
Greece, along with incredible restrictions on all aspects of GA as well.

Last fall, I saw nearly $6 for a short while @ OXC.

I feel your pain. Here in the northeast US, many airports are over the US
$5. mark, with several of the largest and busiest at or over the $6 mark.

There is no limit really. Name something else you can put in a tank and
burn that is less expensive. Alchohol? Biodiesel? Electric? Right now,
all of those are more. There is a pretty good chance it will go back
down, SOME. But I doubt we will ever see it under $2 again.


That's what they were saying in the 70's during the oil embargo... It will
come down.

Brief pause while the Europeans in the group laugh themselves silly at
our so-called high prices


And man, look at the healthy, thriving GA market in Europe. Hopefully
someday we can aspire to be like that... not.

TEN DOLLARS A GALLON?

You must have some really, REALLY "sweet crude" over there in Greece...

I know if it wasn't for my autogas STC, I'd be flying a LOT less.

a 50% increase in just a few days is airway robbery

Oil going up $3/ barrel for raw crude does not equate to $1.60 per gallon of
refined fuel.

Local county aviation departments are getting upset that the local hanger
owners and tie down renters are not buying as much fuel now as last year..
so their "flowage fee" revenues are off.

It was $3.80 / gallon at the county self service pumps last weekend,
interesting to see what it is this weekend.

Yup, good ol' AirBP really sticks it to us; however, taxes are 60%
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The quality of the fuel is exceptional, though.

in active volunteer pilots


Yes

That's just because you *chose* to tax the fuel up to $10/gal.
