Default Is your FBO offering a fuel discount during OSH?

BTW, the LAST STRAW in my decision to drive was Portage taking $2.xx dollars
a gallon of autogas and pricing it at $4.00 a gallon for The Show. That is
just plain ripoff.


Mogas is stuck at $3.20 per gallon here in Iowa, supposedly due to a
"Midwestern oil refinery breakdown"...

What's got me suspicious is that the price is the same -- to the penny
-- in my home-state, neighboring Wisconsin. Since they have a MUCH
higher gas tax, it would appear that Iowa gas stations (or the
distributors, or both) are making an absolute killing on us.

Yesterday "my" gas station (where I buy all of our mogas) ran a 13-
cent-per-gallon discount on Friday the 13th. I bought 60 gallons
worth...

$3.35 here near STE. I need to buy a load of unleaded. I called our
distributor and he told me that on Wednesday (due to the St. Louis refinery
break down) gas jumped 20 cents, then on Thursday it went down 20 cents,
Friday it was up about 3 cents.... My wife watched the local pump price jump
the 20 cents... but it didn't come down the next day, instead the kids that
change the prices on the signs all went swimming and came back to work on
Friday, when they... you guessed it... raised it another 3 cents!

Knowing what happened with the wholesale market then watching what happens
at the retail market drives me crazy.

Wow, for the first time I can remember your gas is higher than ours.
I'm paying $2.89 a couple of miles from Disneyland.


Go to http//www.gasbuddy.com and you'll get gas prices from all over
the country. If you think you are expensive, try San Francisco or Los
Angeles and you'll feel a lot better about your local prices.
