N204TA Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Ouch! At my home base in the Oklahoma City area, the current price is $5.10 a gallon. I can hop over to a small airport about 20 NM away and get it for $4.75. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmo Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 It varies wildly in the US, but nothing like that. At busier airports that deal in lots of traffic, $7-$8 a gallon is not uncommon. But there’s pockets of the country where AVGAS can be had for $4.50 a gallon. I filled up last week for $4.65 a gallon…which is tolerable. When I’m on long cross countries, I do look for gas under $5.50. That’s kind of my fence line for price. I won’t fly out of my way for cheap gas unless it’s a handful of minutes that saves me $50.

M20F Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 $4.98 at KCVC earlier today, I always tell folks that gas is the cheapest part of ownership. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
201Mooniac Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I'm in the SF Bay area and 100LL fuel around the area runs from a low of $4.90 to a high of $11.35. Definitely worth shopping around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeOH Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Southern California is running around $6/gal, but you can find $5.75, with a low of $5.15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthiasArnold Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Well, you did not ask for AVGAS prices in Europe If, you would consider prices all over North America as pretty affordable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 The last I bought was $5.60 in Lower Alabama. It seems to be less expensive on eastern NC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArrowBerry Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 We bought a plane and flew it back from the Deer Lake area to Winnipeg in May this year. We thought the fuel was insane on the island as well, but I guess you don't have a lot of options! Recently in the US we were getting about $4.90 per gallon at the lowest, that was in KS and SD. In Winnipeg the smaller airports are about $2.10 per litre, up to closer to $2.75 at St Andrews and Winnipeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elijah Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 That's crazy and a real shame. $5 to $6 is probably average here in the US. The price difference is nearly all tax - are you saying you're not getting good value from that additional $8/gal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
