A wet rental C-182S is at $375.
Fill'er up and you're out a grand . . .


Why are you using dollars?


Why not, WTF does it matter? it's only a number. The fact is , the
cost is going to drive up the cost well and beyond. Hell, even
filling a Polo up is going to cost you the best part of $100, 60
Euro, 10,000 yen 300 ringgits 12,000 naira or whatever. What matters
is how long you will have to break your back to earn your day of
leisure. It's more than it was, but it's less than 99.5% of the
population of the planet.

Most likely the price in euros is staying relatively flat, while the
$$$ rate is rising much more quickly...


No, actually. though you woudl think so. I'm in naziland at the moment
and the pirce of fuel at their pumps has skyrocketed over the last few
weeks as well with regular going for about 1.50 euro per litre which, if
I'm not mistaken, is up about 10% over about six or eight weeks ago. And
diseasel is even worse.
