Yes indeed, for a brief while anyway... after the TEX '08 fly in today I headed a few miles east to top off at Dallas South Port www.airnav.com/airport/T13; a fairly new and decent grass strip between Ennis and Lancaster with advertised 100LL at $3.65/gal, "Guaranteed". Sure enough, there's a sign by the runway with both 100LL and unleaded mogas prices posted... I was so surprised by the numbers I just had to take a pic. That's Matt & Sandi's RV-9A 523RV rolling out.
The next pic struck me as kinda funny. Four RVs lined up at the pump. Notice a trend here? Four of us too cheap to paint our ships are now lined up for the cheap gas. But really, I'm gonna get my 8 painted someday! So the bad news about the low 100LL price is that we ran the tank dry today... of the 4 RVs at the pump, the first two topped off but the other two were outta luck. Methinks the next tanker load will up the price a bit.
