full service 100LL is $4.93 vs. $4.09 at KBQR.


I had just reread my posting and found a typo. KBUF's 100LL price
is $5.93 and not $4.93 which is almost $2 more/gal than KBQR. The
latter has been our half-way fuel stop before entering Canada's
airspace on our way to Michigan. We make the NY-MI trips several times
a year.
Buffalo Lanscater is a great little airport. We were usually there
during weekends when the FBO were not open but had ran into a number
of very friendly local pilots during our fuel/lunch breaks.
