By the way, I did ask how much it was going to cost. They told me $12.50

a
gallon. My stupidity was thinking that it would take 5 to 10 gallons

max.
Even then $12.50 for a 50% mix of glycol and water is pretty damn steep (I
thought so anyway).

So they used 37 gallons? How many gallons does it normally take to de-ice
Cessna sized aircraft? I just checked the local airports pricing and it

is
$50 +tax to "defrost" the plane in a heated hanger and/or $20 a gallon for
type I aircraft deice.

But wow, if it really took 37 gallons you would have been charged $740 at

my
local airport.


With 37 gallons they could have deiced Minnesota.
