Trip to Dallas II

Not a big deal; IFR to DAL, VFR back to BFM, no sweat, but I want to
give another plug to Regal Aviation at Love Field.

Once again, they treated me like I had driven up in a Gulfstream instead
of a somewhat scroungy looking Cutlass RG. Rent car delivered right to
the airplane, free bottled water fetched by a cute girl for the thirsty
pilot, and an all around impression that they were glad I was there.
Great operation.

This is the second time I've had unmatched service from these folks. It
took (most of) the pain out of paying $5.10/gal. for 100LL, since I know
I would have paid about as much at most any big airport FBO and not been
treated nearly as well.

For $5.10 per gallon, that gas should've been pumped by the Swedish
Bikini Team, and included a 1 hour, full-body massage.

You were hosed, Dan. Nicely hosed -- but hosed nonetheless.

Then it's a conspiracy.

I paid about mid-range for fuel at any of the FBOs at DAL or ADS, the
two airports convenient to my meeting.

Signature at DAL is charging $6.19/gal. for avgas.

That's getting into credit card lap dance territory.

at $8.00 / gallon in the UK that's really steep.

The "name" FBO's at big airports are targeting the bizjets these days.
Already a decent segment of the market and growing very fast. That's where
the profit is for an FBO (selling a few hundred gallons to a Citation,
instead of 20 to me). Those of us who fly small recips are getting priced
(and corporate hangared) out of airports in metro areas...

Wow. You could have gotten it for $2.94/gal at KSWI just aout 48 miles
north.

Prices nearing $1.99(?) for auto gas in MN - I filled up at $2.12.
