Psychological $5 100LL barrier broken here
100LL just went to $5.25 a gallon at 00V. While I was already minimizing "unnecessary" flights, the current price just makes it worse.
This from someone who was flying around 250 hours a year. No more.

My concern is that 5 is not the top. I fear we will look back and wish we could get gas for 5/gal.
The upside is the user fee fight will die since there will be fewer "users", no one left to tax. The need to overhaul ATC will be reduce due to fewer "users" . The VLJ explosion will not occur once the "users" figure out the 1.5Mil to purchase the jet is the cheap part. We will soon move from an airspace and airport system that is at capacity to excess capacity.
Always look for the silver lining.  |

Really - I'd be happy with that - it has been $5.39 for a while here. I just wish auto gas prices in the US would go up more.

I'm sure you get told this all the time, but...
In the UK avgas is currently between £1.40 & £1.80 per litre, which is about $10 to $15 per us gallon!
I'm going touring Europe next week aiming for Tempelhof, checking on prices en route I've found avgas as high as 2.5 euros per litre or $3.85 per litre!!!

We haven't been below $5/gal at ADS for years. That's why I don't buy avgas there. I'd rather support neighboring cities who are interested in getting along with aviation (GLE, DTO, SWI, JWY) rather than gouging it.

$4.96 At Drake Field FYV
I filled up tonight (5-15-08) for a trip to St. Louis tomorrow. It is $4.96 here in Northwest Arkansas. The Chapter VP who is base in Neosho, MO tells me it is much less there. We have our compensations here in the Ozarks.
