I don't know about that. *We just scrapped a business trip via GA due to
cost differential - going GA would have been $1,300 just in fuel, via the
airlines the same two people could go for $500 total and not have to
worry
about potential delays due to winter weather.

Perhaps if you had been able amortize the cost of that flight over
four seats instead of two (as is possible in the PA28-235/6) it might
have worked out better.

We have six seats as well (light twin), but only two people needed to go on
this trip which is typical of most of our trips (1 or 2 people). *We have
considered getting a fast single, but we also occasionally need the
load-carrying capacity, room, and speed of a light twin.



It might be that using a modern fast single can meet 90% of your needs
and will save a lot on fuel while not giving up much speed. If you
need more seats and cargo, fly two planes :-)
