Default Is your FBO offering a fuel discount during OSH?

BTW, the LAST STRAW in my decision to drive was Portage taking $2.xx

Mogas is stuck at $3.20 per gallon here in Iowa, supposedly due to a
"Midwestern oil refinery breakdown"...

What's got me suspicious is that the price is the same -- to the penny
-- in my home-state, neighboring Wisconsin. Since they have a MUCH
higher gas tax, it would appear that Iowa gas stations (or the
distributors, or both) are making an absolute killing on us.

Yesterday "my" gas station (where I buy all of our mogas) ran a 13-
cent-per-gallon discount on Friday the 13th. I bought 60 gallons
worth...


Wow, for the first time I can remember your gas is higher than ours.
I'm paying $2.89 a couple of miles from Disneyland.


Go to http//www.gasbuddy.com and you'll get gas prices from all over
the country. If you think you are expensive, try San Francisco or Los
Angeles and you'll feel a lot better about your local prices.
