You can't take it with you.

No, but you also can't spend what you don't have. If I set aside say
$500 per quarter for flying, a 15% increase in the price of fuel means I
do %15 percent less flying, whether it be for Angelflight, training,
business or pleasure. Most people I know that fly already sacrifice in
other areas of their life in order to afford to fly: No vacation homes
or boats, driving older vehicles, smaller house than their peers etc.

Amen, brother.

If this lunacy comes to pass, GA -- which is already staggering like a
drunk old man in huge parts of America -- is doomed. Our only hope
is that AOPA can stop it.
