Anyone worries about what the rising avgas price to the light plane
ownership in the U.S? I have absolutely no doubt that the average
avgas price will surpass $5/gallon in about 5 years. We'll probably
see a significant drop of GA flying, along with a big drop of the
value
of used airplanes.

I agree, which is why I have temporarily abandonded the idea of moving
up to a more powerful airplane. I'm making the long-shot bet that in
five years I'll be able to pick up a used Cirrus or Lancair for half
what they're going for new now. I'll be able to by a lot of $5 avgas
with the savings. If I'm wrong, so what? I just think now is a poor
time to be buying.

It's really depressing just to think about it.

Depends on your point of view.

Maybe Lycoming should start researching Ethenol powered aero engines
:-) With global warming, we can turn Canada into a giant corn field.
