Flying is so much nicer with avgas under $3 (USD)

It's interesting that the differential between avgas and mogas has
dropped from nearly $2 per gallon, to less than 75 cents per gallon.
Over time, it's averaged about $1.10 per gallon less, so either (a) the
price of car gas is being held artificially high, or (b) avgas is about
to go back up.

Mogas is starting to creep back up. 'Why' is subject to speculation, but I'd
guess the new congress is going to (perceived?) stifle production in an
attempt to lower prices.

Mogas went up briefly because the price of oil went up about two weeks
ago. It plummeted last week so you'll see gas start dropping again.

We bottomed out and been flat since mid October, but in the past 5-10 days
or so it's (mogas) gone up 10-13 cents a gallon.

We're more attuned to the ski season that world oil prices, me thinks.

Airnav had FTG at $2.99 so I called to verify supply. Turns out that
they dropped 100LL to $2.94 a gallon today. On the way back home the
plane flew nicer, the air was smoother and all was right in my world.

Interestingly, mogas is going up (up about $0.11 cents a gallon around here)
while avgas continues its decline. I suspect there's different market timing
factors.

$4.05 in MTJ and $5.00 for Jet-A now that the elite snobs are bring their
jets to go skiing.

Time to head for the eastern slope as the western slope is just too damn
expensive to operate from (not to mention adding 90 minutes to each round
trip).

$3.19 at FTG

(The eastern slope, for Matt)

We've been in a small town for ten years, I don't think I could hack the big
city (okay...Denver) anymore! :~)

Sorry, but Longmont's merely a northern 'burb of Denver.

(I don't live in Denver either, but another 'burb)

Paid $3.94/gal at SLK yesterday. Weather sucked: 2000 overcast (forecast
promised 15000 or better): a trip to Adirondacks turned out to be much
less scenic than expected. The FBO was great, though: friendly people,
quick service, no landing fee. VOR reception can be intermittent in the
mountains (duh). A weird thing happened: I had a panel-mounted GPS used for
DME purposes, and once in the mountains it started losing sats like every
five to ten minutes, going into self-test mode every time. Very annoying.
I couldn't help remembering NW_pilot's glass cockpit story. This was
also a garmin box (don't remember which one), and it was rendered practically
useless. South of GFL everything went back to normal. Can't really explain it.
