You're one of very few, then. The diesels cost significantly more money to
buy and the fuel isn't that much cheaper than gasoline.



100LL is more $$ than Jet-A by an amount that is not insignificant. 50%?
Couple that with performance (fuel burn) numbers and the choice is obvious -
a double savings.

Also, Jet-A will continue to be available. Will 100LL? Sure, for a price -
small market, and shrinking!

Diesels are the future (more shrinking 100LL market). Start building them
and the prices *should* fall.
