Cost of gas is beginning to hurt

Well in the eyes of Democrats thats a landslide.

It certainly is when you consider that Al was saying that the
Republicans controlled both houses.

It was the Democrats who passed the gas tax increase that takes effect
on July 1 in Washington, not the Republicans.

Algore, Kerry and Hillary have all said (when addressing the appropriate
audiences) that we should be paying $5.00 a gallon and taxes should be
raised accordingly.

Wow! More money to **** away.

They do. And when a loaf of bread costs $10 because that is what it
costs to farm and transport the wheat, grind it into flour and
transport that to the baker, bake it and transport the finished loaves
to the store, they will blame the greedy farmers. But it won't matter
because no on will be able to drive to the store to buy the bread
anyway.

After the food riots then, no doubt, they will have even better
programs to save us.

Just think of the margin of victory if EVERY voter got to vote and
counted.
Bushco----28% and falling..

We are talking about seats in state legislature here, not voting.

Polls are not votes. Never have been. If they were, Dewey would have
defeated Truman.

It is interesting that the vast majority of Bush critics couldn't be
bothered to show up at the polls.

....always entertaining to follow these discussions on GA costs and
fuel prices. Here in Germany we already pay some $3.50 per Gallon of
mogas and more than five dollars per Gallon of avgas. Don't mention
landing fees and parking fees also on small airfields, briefing fees
for weather and navigation... And on average we earn less than
Americans.

Cost of gas just another reason to start flying Light-Sport Aircraft.
It is nice flying at only 4 to 5 gph.

I think the solution lies more in adaptation of diesel technology within
GA, given the near universal availability of Jet A and also that most
diesel piston engines adapted for light aircraft can run Jet A, kerosene
or automotive diesel fuel.

I've also heard that Light Sport aircraft are more difficult to land in
a crosswind. Dick Collins writes that with regard to Light Sport,
"we've been here before" referencing the high death rate in general
aviation during the 1950s and 1960s and lower state of training for
newbie pilots during that era.

Yes, I know I can buy a new Light Sport aircraft for under a hundred
grand but I suspect I'm getting what I paid for.

As for myself, I'm going the Private route even if it takes longer to
complete.
