The way that the fuel price is going, a large percentage of U.S. GA
fleet will ground themselves in about 5 years.

It's a sad future indeed, but GA as we know it here is going away very
soon. It'll be largely replaced by ultralights/LSAs burning mogas.
The 100LL Bonanza/Mooney/Cirrus flyers will be able to hold out for a
while buying increasingly expensive 100LL, but they'll give up
eventaully, or buy a turboprop if they have the money.

The light twin fuel hogs will be the first to go.

Funny, the same thing has been said since aviation began. Read some
magazine articles from the '20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s and
you read the same story over and over again.
