G1000 Check out
("George Patterson" wrote)
You're one of very few, then. The diesels cost significantly more money to buy and the fuel isn't that much cheaper than gasoline. 100LL is more $$ than Jet-A by an amount that is not insignificant. 50%? Couple that with performance (fuel burn) numbers and the choice is obvious - a double savings. Also, Jet-A will continue to be available. Will 100LL? Sure, for a price - small market, and shrinking! Diesels are the future (more shrinking 100LL market). Start building them and the prices *should* fall. Montblacksootyexhaust 1984 Diesel Rabbit - 52 mpg, day in day out.
