If it hit $7.50 a gallon, you would see a revolution in America. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Everyone was thinking there would be a revolution back in the 70's when it hit 60 cents a gallon! The only revolution I saw was to watch the auto industry crumple and dollars go overseas to the imports... Yup, and they elected Jimmy Carter...and the rest, as they say, is history. |

The US has become totally addicted to spending tomorrow's money today. Worse: we are not even spending our own money. We are spending Other People's Money at vast rates, $2 Billion every day, according to Paul Volcker. How long will that keep up? When will this house of cards collapse and we will actually have to earn our living instead of borrowing it? |

If my government taxed gasoline so that it cost $7.50 per gallon, I would be standing on my representatives desk right now. And so would millions of Americans. For some odd reason, the French just go "Se la vie" and shrug their shoulders. Don't worry it will be up there pretty soon, the price of avgas has doubled in the last 4 years, say double up again in another 4 and there you have it. Yup. Only the money will go to support corrupt mid-east governments who after hiring foreign labor to do their own work, hand the money left over to terrorists. Wait...that doesn't sound *so* different from what I see here.... |

Maybe where you live but not here, or anywhere else I know of. I have owned a plane for 7 years. Avgas has always been over $2 a gallon here at my home field, usually around $2.50. Now it is $3.60. At the outlying fields you might have occasionally found a sale at $1.99, those places now sell it for $2.60 +- .05. |

Not to mention the absurdity of saying "MYOB" regarding a public newsgroup post. --Gary |

Racist? Makes you wonder how people so dunder-headed ever spawned men like Bleriot... That's not racist? One of us is missing something. Since when are the French a separate race? George Patterson There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes. |
