Anyone worries about what the rising avgas price to the light plane
ownership in the U.S?

It would take some major, major changes in our collective psyche to
seriously worry about the cost of fuel. For every one of us that drops off
the bottom because we can no longer afford aviation, its just a
re-evaluation of our priorities.... I am sure that a new millionaire will be
created at the top to take over.

How could we possible be *worried* about fuel? The most popular weekend
sport on the continent (me, too) is watching 43 cars burn something like
4,000 gallons of gas in a few hours.... going nowhere special, and using
outdated pollution-contributing carburetor technology to do it with, no
less.

That would run my full-size fuel-injected Chevrolet for nearly 100,000
miles.

There are many threats to GA, but fuel-prices is one of the lesser ones,
IMHO.
