I routinely fly to two airports in my J. The trip takes about 30 gallons. At one airport the gas is about one dollar cheaper than the other airport. Here is my question: Is it cheaper to fill the tanks to the brim with cheaper gas but have less a less efficient flight with the unneeded full tanks? Or is it cheaper to get just the amount of gas needed at each airport regardless that the one airport is so much more expensive and have a more efficient flight. Or in other words, I have to add a little fuel no matter what at the expensive airport to have a reserve, but how much should I add at the cheap airport? Or still in other words, how much does it cost to carry around extra fuel that you don't need?

Hi everyone I am presenting the Vz paper to a regional symposium of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots this Friday in San Diego. I would love to hear any feedback from anyone who has adopted this climb profile and uses it on a regular basis. Thanks!
