As I recall, the cost of fuel makes up the major portion of the cost

Depends on how much capital you have tied up in the airplane and how much
you
fly. For me, the cost of money is by far the largest expense.


The cost of money, or of having it tied up, and the cost of storage seem to
be the two biggest problems for the owners personally known to me. OTOH,
fuel seems to be more of a verbalized annoyance--which converts readily to a
hamberger (or omelet, depending on the time of day) flight to an airport
with less expensive fuel.
