avgas (the fuel of hte rich) and leaving Jet-A (the fuel of the

You're right, Jet-A in this country *should* be much cheaper than
avgas.

At one of the airports that I refuel at (T00) when I'm not using
mogas, the current price on 100LL is $3.84 whereas Jet-A is $2.96...
The best price I see currently in Texas is $3.07 for 100LL and $2.39
for Jet-A at EBG... Hell, $2.39 is cheaper than I can buy diesel for
here in Texas... If I had a diesel pickup and lived over there, I
would probably be running Jet-A in it...
