I had an airplane that I had to sacrifice for graduate school 4 years ago. Now finish and looking to get back in the game, I find local avgas prices in my area range from over $6 to over $7!!! (Up from $2.30). Two words: Car gas. Make sure your plane can run on it (most can), and make sure you live in a state that doesn't pollute all of their gas with alcohol -- and flying can still be affordable. We have run 9000+ gallons of regular unleaded 87 octane car gas through our home-made fuel truck (see it hehttp://www.alexisparkinn.com/new_mighty_grape.htm) into our airplanes, at a savings of well over $1.00 (sometimes $2.00+) per gallon. Do the math -- it'll pay for your truck and make flying less expensive. AND, best of all, most planes run *better* on unleaded fuel. It's one of very few win-win situations in aviation. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Pretty cool! Any club or FBO I've been in forbid refueling in the hangar. I never dug deep to find out why. I can only suppose they didn't want to lose an airplane AND a building. Dan |
