High fuel prices = buyer's market?

The biggest change that I see in my personal flying is that we simply don't
pull the Aztec out for many $300 hamburgers, instead we'll wait and go on
longer flights less often.

Personally, I don't plan on changing our habits too much. For short
flights to dinner (or what have you), the price is painful yet doable.
For long flights, on the other hand, the cost of avgas is really giving
me pause.

For example, our flight around the Midwest last month would cost much
more this month -- and the fuel cost was already difficult to bear.

Our flight to Madeline Island last week only took one fill-up of avgas
(ouch!), and our flight to Milwaukee didn't require that I buy ANY of
that expensive, awful stuff -- so the cost was doable. Of course, it
cost $150 to fill the Might Grape's 50 gallon transfer tank
yesterday...

I simply can't imagine feeding your Aztec right now, Jim. Doubling my
hourly cost would just kill me.
