Avgas Where is the ceiling?
"Doug Palmer" wrote in message
ink.net... 100 LL just jumped from $3.82 to $4.54 at our airport, and at HAF we traditionally represent the lower costs for our area (SF Bay) Where will it end? to the pessimists in the room this feels like the begning of the end for those of us who pinch our pennies to get a little air time in once or twice a week. It doesn't seem that long ago that it was just above $2/Gal. Flying less in CA D You've got a loooooong way to go before you match the $10 we pay here in Greece, along with incredible restrictions on all aspects of GA as well. |

I feel your pain. Here in the northeast US, many airports are over the US $5. mark, with several of the largest and busiest at or over the $6 mark.

"Doug" wrote in message oups.com... There is no limit really. Name something else you can put in a tank and burn that is less expensive. Alchohol? Biodiesel? Electric? Right now, all of those are more. There is a pretty good chance it will go back down, SOME. But I doubt we will ever see it under $2 again. That's what they were saying in the 70's during the oil embargo... It will come down. *** Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com *** |

Hopefully someday we can aspire to be like that... not. JKG |

Greece, along with incredible restrictions on all aspects of GA as well. TEN DOLLARS A GALLON? You must have some really, REALLY "sweet crude" over there in Greece... I know if it wasn't for my autogas STC, I'd be flying a LOT less. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

a 50% increase in just a few days is airway robbery
Oil going up $3/ barrel for raw crude does not equate to $1.60 per gallon of refined fuel. Local county aviation departments are getting upset that the local hanger owners and tie down renters are not buying as much fuel now as last year.. so their "flowage fee" revenues are off. It was $3.80 / gallon at the county self service pumps last weekend, interesting to see what it is this weekend.

The quality of the fuel is exceptional, though. |

Greece, along with incredible restrictions on all aspects of GA as well. That's just because you *chose* to tax the fuel up to $10/gal. -Robert |
