Well I was once asked by a Lear to abandon an approach so he could take off, when I was flying a PA28 on night circuits, giving his ground fuel burn as excuse. I had the right-of-way; it was an uncontrolled airport.

While my PA28 burned less fuel in the air than his Lear at idle, I dare say his boss had greater capacity to pay than I do. With avgas running at about $60 per flight hour right now, and me being a humble IT worker, I'm sure my go-around pinched me more than his boss' Lear-at-idle...
