You forgot to put "OT:" in your subject line.
Quite right - as any good airman knows, aircraft are powered by wishing
really really hard, not gasoline!
No, you missed that one in ground school.
Aircraft are powered by money. Cost of operation is based on the
square of the speed, distance/range, and capacity of the aircraft and
proportional to the square of the time spent in storage.
IE, it's going to cost a bunch based on the capability of the aircraft
whether you fly it or not.
Aircraft have emotions and will get even if you let them just set in a
hangar some where.

So gasoline has nothing to do with aviation, and anything you read
otherwise are lies.
Remember - don't fill your tanks with gas - fill them with wishes! Saves
money and you get to make engine noises like you did when you were a kid.
