Hey, all looking forward to your first flight in the 8,
Rusty.
Thanks
Ed. Hopefully, you won't see it on the TV news
:-)
Fortunately on my trip to Louisiana and
back I managed to find 100LL for $3.25, but saw it as high as $4.60. Could
be 75 cent /gallon different from two different vendors on the same
airfield. Certainly making me consider going back to Mogas since its down
to $2.08/gallon around here.
Our
airport is $4.20 now, but there are reports of fuel as low as $2.99 at smaller
airports not too far away. We have a theory that FBO's with their own
flight school aircraft tend to keep the price higher, since they have a captive
audience to sell to. That lets them maintain their markup on the last
batch of fuel they purchased. When I get clear of my phase one test
area, I'll be looking for those cheap airports, though I might also
use some auto fuel as well.
Cheers,
Rusty
(running out of items on my before inspection
checklist)
