Avgas Coming Down?

I think they should all be nationalized.


A responsible oil company should charge you as much as you are willing
to pay.

Well said. All major oil companies are public companies and everyone
is free to buy their share, or invest indirectly thru energy focused
mutual funds.

Yours truely for example, bought into energy mutual funds in late 2004
and the gain of that investments exceeds the extra money I paid for gas
many, may times.

I never understand why people complain about the oi price gouging.
Just buy their stock and you'll ge gouging yourself :-)

100LL at my home airport went from $3.64/gal to $3.05/gal today. Wow,
what a drop.

While I'm sure everybody's Avgas fuel quotes are going down (ours are)
you still have the fuel in the tank that you paid big $$$ for that has
to go.

it's funny how fast these tanks get emptied and promptly replaced with
new priced fuel when the prices are going *up*...

Here in Indianapolis I have seen Mogas go down from $3.20 a gallon to
$2.50 and it appears that it will keep on dropping.

On the other hand at my home base I just filled up for a trip and still
are paying $4.50 a gallon. Has anyone noticed if Avgas is coming down
too? Maybe it has to do with not making 100ll as often as Mogas. What
say you?

Our is at $3.61/gal and the FBO said it might go down by $0.20/gal when
the next load arrives this week. Also on the news this morning the local
radio station was reporting that autogas could be going down to
$2.00/gal after the holidays.

Locally ( in central Wisconsin), there is a historic and fairly accurate
correlation between the mogas pump price and the 100LL wholesale price when
prices are stable. Even though the taxes and the markups are different,
it's been easy to figure out what the 100LL price "should" be.

Example: If mogas at the pumps is 2.98, the wholesale 100LL tanker load
price will be around 2.98. Most FBO's prices will be close to $3.98. Our's
is currently $3.90.

This is just something that I've noticed locally and have been able to
determine by talking with the wholesale dealers. If I see a local FBO
charging more than $1 over the mogas pump price, he simply doesn't get my
business.

That is just plain wrong. I heard a news report that for the second
week in a row gas prices dropped eight cents. Here in CO I just saw
the first drop in many weeks...2 cents. Still $2.93 for the cheapest
unleaded.

100LL around $4.10

Really? I have a feeling Jon knows better what's happening in Indy than you.
When I want to know what's happening in CO, I'll ask you.

Dave, "wrong" as in "not fair/right/equitable" as opposed to
"inaccurate"

It was a joke big guy.

Denver is $2.70.
