How much longer?

$5.20 per gallon in St. Louis. *Since we needed 60 gallons, we paid over
$300 for a single tank of gas -- something I *never* thought I'd see.

Could have stopped 31 miles SSE at Festus and saved $60 while
supporting a small airport that's just trying to survive. Air Nav is
your friend.

Because we fly, we envy no one.

Normally we would do something like that, Gene, but it was at the end of a
long day, in the midst of a long week of flying. We just wanted to be down
and stayin' put for the night....
