Ah, that's unfortunate ( lease).

But nice to see avgas actually cheaper than mogas, for once. Hmm. Maybe
I'll drive over in my car and fill it up. :-)

(Kidding, of course.)

Basic econ...the price charged has to cover the cost of
replacement product plus a profit margin. Going out of
business means that they are not replacing the product, so
they don't have to factor in the higher cost of new
production.

Makes me wonder how old that stuff is.

I know we've got some small airports in Iowa that fill their tanks *maybe*
annually.

Avgas should be "fresh" but just what that means, only the
FAA and the API can tell you.

That's terrifying, but undoubtedly true. And it happen at major airports
where one or more FBO specializes in something other than recip powered
aircraft. One FBO, who shall remain nameless, said "we quit selling av-gas
because we were losing more to evaporation from our truck than we were
selling." While obviously a gross exageration, I'm pleased that he left the
av-gas biz to those who do more of it...
