Baswell,
Our figures are very similar when the utlisation is factored in. I'm working on what it will cost a private owner at 200 hours per year ~ $120/hour. 200 hours utilisation for a private owner is a lot, probably more like 100 hours ~ 180/hour.
For 500 hours ~ 83/hour. Utilisation is the key!!!!!!!!
The main difference in our figures being the price of fuel, mogas will set you back $33/her over here. Also I suspect many use avgas as on field availability of mogas is pretty poor.
