Jetrn Posted October 7, 2021 Report Posted October 7, 2021 I was wondering if anyone new the fuel price @ La cholla airpark, az. I will be landing there on friday, I have a prior permission to land. Foreflight, airbag, and their website do not show a price. I believe a member of this group lives there but unable to recall the name. Thanks for the help. Quote
carusoam Posted October 7, 2021 Report Posted October 7, 2021 Looks really nice! https://lachollaairpark.com They mention that they have fuel.… but the following link didn’t quite capture it properly…. -a- Quote
carusoam Posted October 7, 2021 Report Posted October 7, 2021 This resource shows fuel prices all over the area… near $4.50… http://www.100ll.com/showfbo.php?HashID=137585739b081e1643bcdb19456c6faf The contact info for La Cholla has a phone number… and details about prior permission… PP thoughts only, not a fuel transfer engineer… Best regards, -a- Quote
Greg Ellis Posted October 7, 2021 Report Posted October 7, 2021 Their website says that the price will be shown on the reader at the fuel pump. Apparently it is a well kept dark secret!!!! Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted October 7, 2021 Report Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Ken lives there. @KLRDMD I was a member of the HOA for 10 years. Larry Newman was the caretaker. He probably still is. He is pretty good about answering e-mails and phone calls. Edited October 7, 2021 by N201MKTurbo 1 Quote

For the 10 years I used 57AZ as my Tucson commute base, they usually had some of the cheapest gas in AZ. They probably still do. They are not interested in making a profit, just supplying fuel for the homeowners. BTW, they had a slow pump.... Quote

We have a new, three year old fuel system that is state of the art. Fuel used to be cheap but no longer is, they have the new fuel system to pay for. When the new fuel system went in, the board of directors set the fuel price as the average price of self serve within a 50 NM radius of 57AZ. Fuel prices were changed the first day of each month. As of a month or so ago, the board changed the rules and setting the fuel price is now a very complicated exercise. And the bottom line is, even after all of that calculation, one person decides to set the fuel price pretty much anywhere they want. I'm afraid we will become one of the most expensive fuel places now. It is sad. If you want I can go down to the pump at look at the price. 1 Quote
Jetrn Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Posted October 7, 2021 Called the office this morning, fuel price is $4.95. Parking fee $5.00 per night. Sent in request for prior permission to land last week and received an approval the next day. Quote
