Not good.

BTW, these 2 are good fuel stops for those attending SNF.

4.41 at ijx. We have 2800 gal. left until the next load. When the airport orders fuel they can't get partial loads like 4000 3500 etc. The underground is 8500 gal. The manager says mid 5$ when we order which is coming soon as others from nearby airports are coming here to fuel. Some of the people based here who fly 10 hrs a year are upset that "outsiders" are buying OUR fuel. They think that as they are going on their 6th hr in june of their 10 hrs a year that 4.41 fuel should still be there for them. I put 227 hrs on my C120 since last april and some of the 10 hr a year guys think I have cut in their personal strategic petroleum reserve. Chad come get some lower priced fuel and do a tech counselor visit on my 7.

Very grateful we still have 100ll to purchase.

Cheers, Greg (RV-7A _ doing W&B today)
Here in BRAZIL BR$4.0/litre = US$9.18 per gallon and climbing...

Dont even think about using Mogas, contains 25% Ethanol

I put 56 litres in at the weekend and it cost me ?100.80

So - as I may have just as well spoken Swahili, I will translate....

56 litres is 14.79 US Galls

?100.80 at 1.62 is $163.30

Therefore, that is $11.04 per gallon.

As I don't hang around - let's say 9 gph, so that is a round $100 per hour in fuel alone.......

Enjoy Fella's !!
(and Louise and Roberta)

I've used Airnav since completing the RV almost 10 years ago, great site for fuel and other info.

I wish I could download the whole database into my phone, for airborne use. 100LL.com has this together with Anywhere Map, but I don't have their system any more. Anyone know if this database exists for download? In my younger days, I'd have written some routine to go scrounge it from Airnav...
