Heck, that is worth me flying down from NE just to fill up! We are still $5.65.

That's cause we live in the Greedy part of the country.
Used to be called "Tax-a-Chusetts" at one time.

The local gas station has regular for $1.81 today and yet my local FBO still sells 100 LL for $4.29 and another on the field is still $5.45

Thats a pretty good price, but I'd rather pay $3.00 and not have to go to Bridgeport, TX!

Huh?

Thats a pretty good price, but I'd rather pay $3.00 and not have to go to Bridgeport, TX!

And what's wrong with Bridgeport, TX?

 

[DeltaRomeo]

Still $2.59

....several of us topped our RVs off today at KXBP for $2.59 a gallon.

Not complaining one bit....and I love Texas in November. 74*F

KPAE north of Seattle is $5.45

All prices around here are around the same. Paine field is about the busiest though (where all the new boeings fly their first flight out of), so I would expect it to be cheapest here, but not yet.

93 Octane Mogas is $1.98/gal pretty much across the metromess. Lead free goodness.

Well, I haven't heard anyone actually "say" it lately.

Current 100LL prices

In less than 3 months 100LL has dropped close to 2.00 a gal. while reported GA traffic (operations) is down close to 20% compared with 2007 at many airports that have a tower and report numbers. In good times it takes awhile for a small FBO to turn a load of 100LL and it is not a fun time while prices are dropping rapidly.
I am not an unbiased party (FBO owner) but if possible, your local FBO needs your business during these times of rapidly declining prices. I do not think it will be long till we reach the bottom of the price decline and everyone will be on a better playing field.

Gas

My FBO had to buy his last load of 100LL at the highest price just before the prices started dropping. We still are paying $5.11 per gallon. Hopefully next week he will get a new load and the price will drop dramatically. I have to support him because I live here and for the other perks of being part of the local airport family.

My hope, is that the speculators will go broke and the prices will stabilize.

I'll start with the disclaimer that my home airport is very unusual. The local FBOs at ADS are typically $2+/gal more than outlying airports and are currently between $5.90 and $6.40/gal for 100LL. Given all the turbine aircraft that seem to happily pay high prices for Jet-A, I don't think they are hurting for my business.
