Wondering what everyone is paying for 100LL
Hi
Just wondering what everyone is paying for 100LL. Were I live in Juneau, AK, AV gas is around $7.00 US/gal. Premium auto fuel is around $4.50 US/gal.
My O-320 E3D is rated for premium auto fuel. I have never used it because of the hassle in lugging around 6 to 7, 5gallon jugs of fuel and the pain of fueling plane that way. I also feel the chances for contaminating fuel is greater.
Also heard if you run auto fuel you should mix it 50/50 with 100LL?

In Shropshire UK, the Avgas has reduced from 1.76 to 1.68 pounds per litre.
Road petrol and diesel prices have also fallen 0.20 pence per litre to about 1.20.
World over production is the chief cause, and the downward trend is likely to increase further in the next few months, as petroleum producers shop around for the best deals for their bulk supplies.

Normally around home, just under $2 per liter, though last summer in far north Quebec, just over $7 per liter, and I had to buy by the drum. But the drums are taken 165 km, 5 at a time in the dead of winter, so they are there by pre order for the following summer, so the price sounds like a deal when there is simply no avgas further north on the continent!

Step Turn - the price plummets dramatically if you go further north to Nunavut. Still have to buy it by the barrel, but a lot cheaper than the Québécois of Kujjuaq charge!
Phiggs / 150 driver - the original poster is from Alaska - your posts probably mean very little.

It's around £5.60 per US gallon from the tanker here in UK depending on how much you buy and airfields up this end are charging around £6.50-£7.00 a gal. Don't know what the pound-dollar exchange rate is at the moment, but it hangs around the $1.55 mark so you can work it out roughly from that.
I have a diesel car and it's around £4.60 a gallon at the mo.
In fact looking at your figures B19 we are paying roughly pound-dollar equivalent, so we are paying around 50% more.

£1.89/l in Suffolk
(The Suffolk figure is 2.5 times today's price at my local mainland US airport - the local price is dropping like a rock these days. The Alaskan price is higher, presumably due to the distribution cost)

Thanks for posting, I was just curious what fuel cost were around the world. Even at a cheap rate of $7.00 per US/Gal I am glad my O320 only burns 10Gal/Hr

Just got our price notification today, here in Orlando, FL. It's a company fleet rate so somewhat cheaper than the posted rate. We pay US$3.75/USG for 100LL.
