Try buying at a smaller field. IAD is up over $7, but Culpeper is still
under $5 (I can't believe I said that like it's a good thing!)

This fuel may be kill GA. It costing 300 plus now to put gas in the Bonanza.
My buddy parked his Barron. He says it just not fun knowing how much it
costing to fly.
Looks like it will never get better either. How do the guys in these Jets do
it.

Strangely, this weekend our ramp was FULL of light twins. Haven't seen any
of those things flying since gas hit $4.50/gallon, but I guess the holiday
weekend brought 'em out of mothballs. Most of the twins at our airport
haven't moved since last fall.

We paid over $300 to top the tanks in Atlas (our Cherokee Pathfinder) in
March (in St. Louis) -- and it really made us stop and think. That's
mostly what made us start looking for a smaller "fun" plane -- which we just
bought yesterday (with two other partners). It's a '48 Ercoupe, and it'll
sip mogas at about 4.8 gph, with my arm hanging out the open top...

:-)

Where there's a will, there's a way.
