$640.00 to fill the tanks...

Imagine! $640 to go fly! This *might* explain why there are only 9 registered Cherokee 235s in all of Britain, no? What's worse is the airlines are claiming that they are subsidising GA through the fees they pay to the CAA - and conveniently leaving the fuel taxes out of the calculations. Of course, fuel for airlines is tax free. If you have a plane that runs on Jet-A (for example, the new Diamond DA-40 or Twin Star), you have to pay VAT on jet fuel which the airlines don't. (However, Jet-A is still very cheap - about 1/3rd of the cost of avgas even with VAT added) -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid.
