Eric WolinHOST
Well, that plus all the taxes, we knew that when we were paying six bucks a gallon for gas here, it was going to be over eight as soon as we crossed the Rocky Mountains when we're filling up our fuel on our airplane.
Eric WolinHOST
Well, now, not even Avgas or jet fuel, now normal diesel is going over $10.
Eric WolinHOST
And you know the problem with that? Their pumps only have three digits.
Eric WolinHOST
Oh, okay.

David MoloneyGUEST
So the status points we get is really around profitability to Qantas.
David MoloneyGUEST
So there's a base cost of the Avgas and piloting the plane, et cetera.
David MoloneyGUEST
But then your ticket price.
David MoloneyGUEST
will have various levels of profitability associated with it.
Joanna ColesHOST
I do miss him.
Joanna ColesHOST
I wonder if he's been grounded because of the prices of Avgas and he's no longer using the FBI plane as much as he used to.
David RothkopfGUEST
to take his girlfriend around or whatever.
David RothkopfGUEST
Yeah, no, that's possible.

Before controls, airports with competition looked more expensive.
speaker_0HOST
Full Service 100LL averaged $5.01 per gallon at single FBO airports versus $5.74 where more than one FBO sold it, about 73 cents higher.
speaker_0HOST
Jet A averaged $4.80 versus $5.37.
speaker_0HOST
If you stop reading there, you conclude competition raises prices, which would be a fun headline and completely wrong.
speaker_0HOST
At towered airports – busier, more variation to work with – the posted price of Jet A was about 50 cents higher on average with only one FBO.
speaker_0HOST
both results statistically significant at the 1% level.
speaker_0HOST
For 100LL, the effect was 11 cents lower at towered airports with at least two FBOs and statistically invisible in the full dataset, which GAO attributed to how rare Avgas competition is since only 13% of FBOs faced on-airport competition in the sale of 100LL.
speaker_0HOST
35 to 50 cents a gallon, on an 800 gallon uplift that's $280 to $400 per fill, extracted purely by the absence of a second fuel truck.
John RobertsonHOST
Air taxis.
John RobertsonHOST
Piston-driven planes, they use what's called Avgas.
John RobertsonHOST
And Avgas has also gone up in price significantly.
John RobertsonHOST
quite a bit.
John RobertsonHOST
Looking at the prices in Palmer, at Palmer Airport, and they've gone up a bit over a dollar since last year per gallon.
John RobertsonHOST
Well, but I have a cool headset on, yes.
John RobertsonHOST
But the fact is you're flying, say, a Super Cub.
John RobertsonHOST
You're flying that Super Cub, and you're going to be burning, say, eight to nine gallons of Avgas per hour.

Dave CalderwoodHOST
sticker on the fuel cap
Ian SeagerHOST
yeah you will probably need that because there's a lot if you go to like proper refueling places as opposed to the self refueling places in some of the places if you haven't got stickers on saying 100LL they won't refuel you I've been to places where there was no sticker for 100LL and they basically this is a brand new aeroplane They said, we're not going to refuel it.
Ian SeagerHOST
And what we had to do was get the POH out and prove them.
Ian SeagerHOST
Because they're just completely afraid of refueling you with the wrong fuel.
RedHOST
It's like, no, you're going to keep that.
RedHOST
I'm getting my $1,500 worth of fucking Avgas.
Sunshine ShooterHOST

Sunshine ShooterHOST
