$4.04 per gallon at Hilton Head

Just tanked up at Hilton Head SC. They charged me $3.85 per gallon of
100LL, and then added on a 5% "fuel tax". Works out to $4.04 per gallon.
Ouch, a new high.

Now that I am back home, I am going to top off with mogas... $2.10 seems
cheap now.

Actually, (this is hard to say) $4.04 is cheap for a resort airport....
Several non-resort airports here in WI are over $4.00, but some places 100LL
is cheaper than mogas because Wisconsin's avgas tax is low and the mogas tax
is high. KBNA was over $4 in March and I paid over $4 at KAZO in May.

$4 per gallon?

Wow.

Actually, this isn't too bad is it? What is the normal price for Avgas in
the US these days?

I don't think there is a "normal" price for Avgas in the US. It
varies all over the place. A good source for prices is
http://www.airnav.com

Go to the Aviation Fuel section and select local fuel prices. In the
San Francisco Bay area today, reported prices for full serve 100LL were
(ignoring price reports more than 2 weeks old):

PAO - 3.80
HWD - 3.73 and 3.90
C83 - 3.15
SQL - 3.68
SFO - 5.15
OAK - 4.11
E16 - 3.30
CCR - 3.53

To give you an idea of the difference which can exist between nearby
airports serving the same city: LAS and VGT are 8.1 NM apart. Full
serve 100LL at LAS is 4.75 while at VGT it is 3.37.

I hear you. On our recent flight to Alaska, we were paying $1.35CAD/LITER in
Canada for 100LL. Works out to about $4.25US/gal. Mogas there was $0.98CAD/liter,
though, too.

It's 4.50 at Palm Springs, CA.

It's $2.99 at 7FL6, Spruce Creek (Yelvington Aviation).

I just paid $4.45 at Albuquerque. I believe Santa Barbera is pushing
$5/gal( they've always liked to round off their prices... )

Just over 1GBP/Litre in UK (Scotland) ~= 4GBP/USG =~=$7/USG depending
on exchange rate.

Then there's high landing and parking charges, but don't let's go
there :-(

$2.80 at Hagerstown, MD, KHGR, yesterday.
