I don't know...

Older aircraft and engines are hugely inefficient compared to some of the newer types. I doubt if avgas/mogas are ever going to get cheap again and I expect this is going to get ever more important.

Secondly, aviation infrastructure is expensive - if it isn't well utilised, it's going to disappear.
