Interestingly, mogas is going up (up about $0.11 cents a gallon around here)
while avgas continues its decline. I suspect there's different market timing
factors.

$4.05 in MTJ and $5.00 for Jet-A now that the elite snobs are bring their
jets to go skiing.

Time to head for the eastern slope as the western slope is just too damn
expensive to operate from (not to mention adding 90 minutes to each round
trip).

It's interesting that the differential between avgas and mogas has
dropped from nearly $2 per gallon, to less than 75 cents per gallon.
Over time, it's averaged about $1.10 per gallon less, so either (a) the
price of car gas is being held artificially high, or (b) avgas is about
to go back up.

Mogas is starting to creep back up. 'Why' is subject to speculation, but I'd
guess the new congress is going to (perceived?) stifle production in an
attempt to lower prices.

$3.19 at FTG

(The eastern slope, for Matt)

$4.20 in Fitchburg, Ma. KFIT

Mogas went up briefly because the price of oil went up about two weeks
ago. It plummeted last week so you'll see gas start dropping again.

We bottomed out and been flat since mid October, but in the past 5-10 days
or so it's (mogas) gone up 10-13 cents a gallon.

We're more attuned to the ski season that world oil prices, me thinks.

We've been in a small town for ten years, I don't think I could hack the big
city (okay...Denver) anymore! :~)

Sorry, but Longmont's merely a northern 'burb of Denver.
