He might not have enough cash to replace it, gallon-for-gallon (unless
he's
really loaded which is unlikely) if the price spikes continue.

He may also run into another problem, though my crystal ball says he
won't. If you buy a tank of gas at a peak price and index your price
to
the price you paid, you may be stuck with that tank if the price then
drops. This happened at Lakewood airport two years ago.



At WVI 100LL is now $4.31/US gal. Might take couple of years to empty the
FBO tank at that rate .

Fuel cost for C182 now approx. $50/hr.

Think this might have an effect on the number of hours I fly and the resale
value of light aircraft used for pleasure?

C182 150mph @ 12gph = .30/mile fuel cost.
Auto 60mph @ 3gph = .10/mile fuel cost
Commercial airline .10mile total cost
