Default THE PRICE OF AVGAS

Didn?t think I?d ever see AvGas below $3.00 again. $2.60/gal at Bridgeport (KXBP) was a pleasant surprise this morning. It?s been, let?s say, a few years at least. Too bad it?s taken a virus to help bring this about.



What are you seeing for AvGas pricing in your region?

Chris

We’re at $3.95 at Carson City (NV) - I paid $5.30 the other day in Aurora (OR)!

But Jet A....they’re practically giving it away in Carson at $2.65....so guess what airplane is getting more flying!

It wouldn't have been as convenient Paul but for a less than 5 minute flight east you could have gotten it for $3.69. About 8 minutes away (and home of EAA Chapter 105) it is $3.65.
