Avgas prices are finally falling! I filled up at Brazoria County (KLBX) a couple times this week (and just again this morning), and the self-serve price is less than three bucks for the first time in a year.

(The maddening part is that if they can drop the price by $1.00 per gallon in only three weeks, you have got to believe that we were getting pretty badly soaked at the higher price.)

I think that KLBX flows a fair amount if fuel in a week, so they are probably taking new shipments and can react quicker than the small municipals that are still having to charge a high price cause that is what they paid for the tanker load of fuel a month or two ago....but maybe things are finally getting better, just in time for some fall trips (LOE for one...)!

So what's the lowest anyone has seen in the past week?

Dittos, great to see the prices falling. Today was airport day at my home field and fuel was being served at the bargain rate of $4.20. A 40nm flight and gas can be had for $3.39. Do any of you ever notice that when the news says that gas is going up the prices on the pumps change instantly, but when they fall the fuelers seem to think that they need to sell their gas at the higher price until they unload it all? This drives me nuts! Can't wait till gas in Nor Cal drops below $3.

I think we need to get a congressional hearing underway about the sharp drop in fuel prices.

BTW it is still 3.52 here at FTG

Aussie city price AU$1.60/ litre = US$4.60

Aussie Outback Price AU$2.00/litre = US$5.70

Pays to have tip tanks.

Think I might ask the question of the Oreon Dept of aviation why we're being gouged?

We're still getting hosed in the SE. Gulfcoast prices today were all around $4.50. Most places higher than that.

Has been $2.70 for nearly 2 weeks!

In western Washington fuel is still about $4.30-4.50. If it was $2.70 I think I'd fly around firewalled for a few hours

Here is Arkansas (HRO) the price dropped from $4.60 last week to $3.90 this week. They act like they are now giving it away.
