After
the 24 hours credit card reader was installed our sales really went up.


I'm not surprised. I very often bend my course to land at a little
airport at the northwest end of Lake Winnipesaukee that has a
credit-card pump. It's nice to know positively that the "gas jocky"
will always be on duty. (And I don't fly at night!)

all the best -- Dan Ford

I was checking Airnav for places to stop on an upcoming trip and saw a
couple of places that were over $4 per gallon. I'm stopping at the places
where it is still under $3 a gallon.

Sometime over the last week, our FBO at Syracuse, NY, quietly raised 100LL
fuel prices again. It is now $3.88 per gallon, which I believe has
surpassed the fuel prices at Signature of Boston's Logan Airport.

I just had to vent.

Mine just hit $2 for 87 octane. Still well over a buck cheaper than
avgas-and it runs better and cleaner, too.

I'm so happy I have the Autogas STC. I'm getting 8 gal/hr burn at $2.85/gal.

Me, too. But I'm paying just $1.95 per gallon here!

(Of course, I'm burning 14 - 15 gallons per hour...)

You're paying $2.85 for mogas? I'm paying $2.75 for avgas.

My home base (3N6) price just jumped $0.20 to $2.85 credit / $2.75 cash
or with a Philips66 card.

A year ago when my home field was $2.50/$2.40 I really didn't care that
much about the discount, and I just didn't want to be bothered with a
gas credit card, but the prices are so damn high now that I broke down
and got the card. $0.10 ain't much, but it's something.

For what it's worth, the highest I paid recently (in fact, EVER) was
Jacksonville Craig (KCRG) Florida - $3.65. The highest I've seen in the
Northeast is at Bedford (KBED) - $4.10...but I'm boycotting that airport
for other reasons so that doesn't count. :-)
