How do you plan your fuel stops?
I have good and bad experiences using AirNav, 100LL, and others.
The problem is finding the right balance between cheap fuel and having a nice place to stop. Cheap fuel usually means small airport and no one around. Good place to stop with the wife means $$$.
I am not cheap and not rich, so I am looking for a ?total performance? fuel stop planner. If AirNav had a ?best rated? choice that would be great. At RV speeds I am willing to go out of the way a little.
So far the only thing that has somewhat worked is using AirNav and then reading the reviews on each stop listed. Tedious. My ideal would be to have a multi category star rating system linked to a flight planner. Sort of an Amazon meets AirNav meets Weathermeister meets AOPA flight planner.
I have found a few gems where the people, pilot lounge, and prices were great. This made for a great trip experience.
