Default Hidden costs of ethenol

1. I had a guy walk up to me at the glider field and say, "I just put $300
worth of fuel in my C-182". "What does it cost to be a glider pilot?" (A
whole lot less, I told him)

2. I bought an old motorcycle that can replace 75% of my driving. It gets
55 MPG city driving.

3. I'm strongly advocating winch launch for gliders. ($5 launch = 5 hour
flight)

Obviously, gliders aren't an option if you need A to B transportation. But,
if you just fly for fun, gliders are a lot of fun for a lot less money.
