I wish we had 100LL for £2.28 round these parts. That's actually quite cheap in comparison to some places. I know of a certain "big" airport that was charging £2.70/lt not long ago

I feel sympathy however. When there is a monopoly it is inevitably milked, as was happening at the above. The attitude there was "if you don't like it, go elsewhere". Also regularly there was a long wait for fuel as the agent concentrated on Citations, Gulfstreams etc. first. When we asked about it, the attitude was the same. Good old British customer service They didn't seem to care if it cost them custom.

My home base is currenly charging £2.33/lt. Think I'll start flying something that takes Unleaded!
