$5.64 for a gallon of "Chateau de AvGas"
Jay,
Imagine my shock to find that avgas was being sold for $5.64 per gallon! What a nice price! We're paying 11.80 USD now in Germany. The same in the UK. About 8 or 9 bucks in France. The best I can get when I fly to Denmark or Sweden for fuel is 5.90. As for the crosswind: Get a Socata TB. On our recent Scotland trip we had several landings with 20 to 25 knots direct cross. Perfectly managable, thanks to that huge rudder. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Jay,
Dang. It sucks to be you. Not sure if that can be considered a polite response under any circumstance even in the US hinterland (gotta brush up those language skills), but I'm quite happy being me, thank you. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Hmmm, yeah, I suppose that doesn't translate well, does it? It's sorta like saying "Sorry to hear that" with an edge. (BTW: AFAIK, this slang saying started -- where else? -- on the Left Coast) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Thomas, can you break down the fuel cost? How much for fuel? How much for taxes and fees?

John,
How much for fuel? How much for taxes and fees? 19 percent VAT or sales tax, plus about 30 percent "mineral oil products tax" (65 Euro cents per liter, not a percentage, to be exact. Same amount for every liter of car fuel. 3.8 liters per US gallon). NOt sure if there are any other taxes on it. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

You see... Oh wait! Thomas, playing off the exacting image of German language, just pulled one (back) on Jay. "Were his toes on the line? ....No. Three points!" g Montblack "It sucks to be you." I looked and looked, but can not find that phrase's origins - from TV or a movie is my guess. Wayne's World?
