Are you tired of the $5 and $6 100LL fuel prices of the past? Damn right you are!

Well it looks like crude oil prices had finally started to correct to lower levels. Too bad we have to have a depression/recession for the prices to abate. But now our dollar is in the toilet so the Oil Cartel wants more dollars per barrel and here we go AGAIN with higher oil prices!

 

Take a walk down memory lane with me to 100LL pricing in January 2002. We still have a ways to go before we get to this level, but we can hope can't we???

 

KZPH Fuel Pricing January 2002

 

Fly south to Rusk County, TX (KRFI) or Hinton, OK (2O8) to take advantage of the great states of Texas and Oklahoma crude oil refinery pricing of 100LL.  As well some bright spots remain in Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri. See my selected listings below.

 

Fuel prices all over the US are on the rise and with our debt burden also increasing, I'll give you one guess as to which way our currency is going to go ! And you know what that means for the people selling oil....YUP, they want more of those lower valued dollars for their barrel of crude. Not to mention what futures market speculation will add to the upward trend. It's not a pretty short term picture.

 

Here's an outdated chart created by Beech Lister, Nathan U., on historical 100LL Price Trends vs. unleaded auto fuel and the crude oil price. Our 100LL seems to be tracking true to the same levels we saw back in 2007.

 

 

The lower fuel price trend is over. Our currency is becoming devalued and here go the oil prices again! Find the remaining low-priced avgas spots and get out there and fly!

Here are links to another Fuel Planner, developed by Beech Lister, Don S. These planners organize the fuel by corridor distance and fuel price (low to high). Check them out, you might like the format for your trip planning.

Hopefully your area will start to see lower 100LL prices really soon. I guess it's one of the side effects of being in a "depression"?

 

I encourage all Beechcraft owners to take this opportunity to get out and polish up on your flight proficiency, exercise your airplane's engine(s) and in general enjoy the flying you've put off due to high fuel prices.

 

Here's my buddy Dave topping off for his hangar at Bridgeport, TX just before the drop to $2.99, late in 2008.

A great meal was had at Pronto's Italian Restaurant down the road. The owner even came to pick us all up. Give them a call (940-683-3733) if the courtesy car is not there. The food is great, the portions are great and the meal prices are CSOB approved.
