Default $640.00 to fill the tanks...

what will you (OK, you can fuel auto-gas) do when they announce that avgas
will be taken from the market within the next - let's say - 12 months?


Why would *that* happen?


because it is uneconomic to produce and to transport?
or maybe it becomes uneconomic?


Given the high number of charter business planes that use 100LL, I
don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

The price may well become unbearable, however. (Although prices here
on all grades of gas have dropped 5% in the last week or two.)

Oil and gas are on the way down.

You must remember that Aug 22 is the end of the world so all of this really
doesn't matter.

It wasn't when I posted it at 10 something AM CDT on the 21st.

But now that it is I think we can rest assured that Iran does not have a
Nuclear capable missile that can reach Israel... Yet.

You're mistaken... The end of the world will occur on Jan 19th, 2038

Of course, certain actions might allow us to prolong the end of the
world until 06:28:15 GMT Feb 7th, 2106, but I would still expect
significant problems in 2038...
