Default Owner's poll

The last new vehicle I bought was in 1986. I still have it.

I forgot to mention: One HUGE money-savings for us is the fact that we
are able to use regular unleaded car gas in our airplane.

At last count (our tank has a gauge) we have pumped over 7500 gallons
through our fuel truck ("The Mighty Grape" -- see it he
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/fuel_truck.htm ), making the purchase of
that truck the single best investment I've made in the 21st century...
;-)

With the price differential ranging from $1 to $2 per gallon cheaper
than avgas, the mogas STC has truly made flying more affordable for us.
It saves over $15 per hour in flight expenses, and I wouldn't even
consider buying a plane that didn't have the mogas STC.
