Liverpool Fuel Crisis for GA
If you fly out of Liverpool or indeed fly into Liverpool you need to know about changes operative from 1st September 2012.
ESSO will cease to provide fuel from this date and you will have to buy it from Ravenair. We have received about 2-3 weeks notice of this change!
I am a member and Director of SMAC (Southport and Merseyside Aero Club), and we like other GA users/groups, as well as FBO's will only have access to this one supplier. The hike in price is 135%. Our price is increasing by some 60+ pence per litre.
There is an outcry about this and a User Group has been formed and we have involved AOPA. A meeting is scheduled at 19:30 hours on 10th September at Hale Village Hall L24 4AE, to discuss action that we can take. Martin Robinson of AOPA is attending the meeting. Any interested parties are welcome to come along. We have also created a www site for up to date information at liverpoolgausers.org.uk.
PPruners support would be helpful.

PS The price per litre of AvGas will be £2.28594. Probably the most expensive around.
