Hidden costs of ethenol

1. I had a guy walk up to me at the glider field and say, "I just put $300
worth of fuel in my C-182". "What does it cost to be a glider pilot?" (A
whole lot less, I told him)

2. I bought an old motorcycle that can replace 75% of my driving. It gets
55 MPG city driving.

3. I'm strongly advocating winch launch for gliders. ($5 launch = 5 hour
flight)

Obviously, gliders aren't an option if you need A to B transportation.
But, if you just fly for fun, gliders are a lot of fun for a lot less
money.

And as a certain vocal critic of SP/LSA always points out, with a motor
glider, you have almost all (maybe all?) the advantages of SP/LSA, with none
of the disadvantages.

An interesting point. Of course, I'm having an attack of "Sometimer's
Desease" and can't recall the subject line of the thread in which he
expounded the rationale...
