recent avgas prices

Plymouth City yesterday 98p + vat (rare for me to fill up in the UK mainland - only if absolutely necessary)

Exxon Price for 2000L bulk purchase = 94.9p + vat (for helicopter bowser)

Jersey (fuel Supplies CI) 85p ish (inc AOPA discount)

Palma airport Mallorca 1.05 euros no vat (3 weeks ago) you need a VAT number.

I tanker Jersey fuel around whenever I can - 500L is what I take off with when I leave those beautiful islands = 10 hrs in the air. Trip back takes 40 mins leaving 9h 20 mins of tax free flying and two fingers to the treasury.

Visited EGJJ 16 times last year for fuel (and of course tourism).

Guernsey is even closer and just as cheap - drop in there from time to time too.

Do the same if you can - you know it makes sense - why spend 50% more??
