You forgot to put "OT:" in your subject line.


Quite right - as any good airman knows, aircraft are powered by wishing
really really hard, not gasoline!

So gasoline has nothing to do with aviation, and anything you read
otherwise are lies.

Remember - don't fill your tanks with gas - fill them with wishes! Saves
money and you get to make engine noises like you did when you were a kid.

People with wishes and no gas manage to fly all the time. People with
gas but no wishes should probably fly away.

The cost of gasoline affects any number of things. It does not mean that
the cost of gasoline is relevant in any number of newsgroups, especially
when the topic isn't even directly related to *aviation* gas.

That said, I did find your post quite funny...good job!

It's still all off-topic.

At this stage of the discussion, there's no way to know.

It's doubtful, at best, however, given the fact that 100LL is about to be
regulated out of existence in America.

Got evidence of that? The EPA's position is and has been that leaded aviation
fuel doesn't constitute enough of a hazard for them to target it, and the fuel
experts at the Oshkosh symposiums said that legislation isn't a problem. They
said that what will kill 100LL is the fact that the market is declining and the
manufacturer of lead-tetraethyl will almost certainly find it unprofitable to
make it within the next 8 years.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

No, you missed that one in ground school.

Aircraft are powered by money. Cost of operation is based on the
square of the speed, distance/range, and capacity of the aircraft and
proportional to the square of the time spent in storage.

IE, it's going to cost a bunch based on the capability of the aircraft
whether you fly it or not.

Aircraft have emotions and will get even if you let them just set in a
hangar some where.
