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?

Happy flying

Avgas delivered to aircraft, North Pole - our current price is $107/gallon.


Taking orders now. (seriously!)


Fly safe, Sam.

Average UK price equates to $US 11 / US Gallon

Uk avgas price?

Arm and Leg, plus your right nut (or VAT as the government calls it)

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.

Yesterday I payed USD 7.86 per liter for 100LL ...

£1.89/l in Suffolk

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!

'Sure makes me appreciate putting mogas in my other plane though!

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.

I was at Rapid Lake Lodge, very near the Labrador border, where Avgas was positioned for us. I did consider flying back to Schefferville, or over to Kujjuaq for a lower cost, but the cost of flying there made it unworthwhile. I happily paid the price, to have it exactly where I needed it.

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.

At current exchange rates and for the OP in Alaska, that's $11.23 USD/USG in Suffolk UK, and $9.98 USD/USG in Shropshire UK.

(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)

£1.89 is dear. Just checked one of my local airports, Nottingham and it's £1.53 a litre or $9.10 per US gallon.

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


Safe Flying

An o320 averaging 10gph seems awful high, I run my o360 at 2350rpm leaned and average around 9gph.

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.

With the current exchange rate of euro to dollar, 1 USG would cost about $17 in The Netherlands. Lot's of taxes...

Mogas sells for about $10 / USG.

Piperboy84---10gph is what I use for flight planning. POH says 8gph @ 2500rpm, @ 2500ft. I am close to that.

Shoreham
 

£1.84p/l down here in Shoreham. Equates to £6.95/USG ($10.89). That plus a landing of £31.20...:}
