Summer is over? (vacation driving season?)

Just a guess..

Gas price this morning in Iowa City: $2.59 per gallon.

Never thought I'd be happy to see *that* price -- but it sure beats
$3.00!

Iowa's state and federal combined gasoline tax is 39.5 cents, Wisconsin's is
49.5 cents... a dime different, but with the higher basis and transportation
in Wisconsin, I doubt if we'll see $2.75 here. Maybe on the eastern side of
the state, but most of the center and north western part of Wis is fed by
the Koch pipeline and fuel coming out of that pipeline is consistently ten
cents per gallon higher. Drive 20 miles east of here and you can see the
immediate change in prices.

I had an interesting conversation yesterday with our ag operator. He was
discussing the fuel supply and price issues with his supplier and passed on
some interesting info.

To transport 100LL, either by pipeline or by truck, 100LL must be preceded
and followed by gasoline, no diesel, no kerosene, no jet A ect. To
transport Jet A, it must be preceded and followed by a diesel type product,
no gasoline. Mogas, diesel, kerosene can all be preceded and followed by
each other. So this creates an additional burden especially in areas of low
100LL or Jet A usage.

Wisconsin's gas-tax is the highest in the country.

Wisconsin's aviation fuel tax is 6 cents per gallon.
Want to save even more $ by burning mogas you say?.....
Can you hold 100 gallons? Got a buddy you can split 100 gallons with?

Many small aircraft have been approved by the FAA to use
the same unleaded gasoline that is placed in the family car.

Under Wisconsin law, general aviation fuel dealers can

purchase automobile gasoline from fuel suppliers for aircraft

use without paying the Wisconsin motor vehicle fuel tax

(currently 30.9¢ per gallon). Fuel users (see Part II) can also

purchase automobile gasoline tax-exempt for aircraft use by

obtaining an aviation fuel license.

In order to purchase automobile gasoline tax-exempt from

fuel suppliers, general aviation licensees must give suppliers

a Certificate of Fuel Tax Exemption (MF-209). Blank forms

can be obtained by calling the department at (608) 266-3223.

In addition, gasoline purchased tax-exempt for aircraft use

must be delivered to the general aviation licensee’s storage

tank in an amount not less than 100 gallons.

It's $2.77 in Monroe right now.

Yep, lucky them... outside of Koch's grasp. Koch country is running $2.95.
Everything up around Green Bay is in the $2.75 range also... cheaper retail
than I could buy wholesale! unreal... I bet their pump price goes up in the
next few days. When I bought the terminal was "on allocation" limiting
branded fuel purchases, which then puts pressure on the generic prices that
I pay.

I just paid $2.56 with my grocery store discount card. Right now the
100LL at my airport is $3.61/gal and the FBO said the new load this week
may drop by $0.20/gal. I told him I would fill up after the new load.

If it goes down 20 cents at Gainesville and you get an AOPA discount, it
will be under $3 at Gainesville! )
