Default Flying is so much nicer with avgas under $3 (USD)

Airnav had FTG at $2.99 so I called to verify supply. Turns out that
they dropped 100LL to $2.94 a gallon today. On the way back home the
plane flew nicer, the air was smoother and all was right in my world.


It's interesting that the differential between avgas and mogas has
dropped from nearly $2 per gallon, to less than 75 cents per gallon.
Over time, it's averaged about $1.10 per gallon less, so either (a) the
price of car gas is being held artificially high, or (b) avgas is about
to go back up.

As an optimist, I'm voting for "a"...
