It is not just what state you are in. There is usually a huge difference just among your local airports. You don't realize this until you are not renting a plane and you start looking at different airports. We have two airports ten miles away with usually at least a fifty cent difference per gallon. The flight schools at the more expensive airports really take it hard because they usually get topped off at home by every other person that uses the plane. I make it a habit when I rent and I happen to stop on the way back at a cheap gas airport to top it off and turn in the receipt. They are pretty appreciative when I put in 20 gallons and save them ten bucks.

Stone Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2005 2:54 PM To: KR Builders Pilots Subject: KR> Fuel Just to show you what a variation there is in pricing here compared to other places. Gas for cars is $l.66.9 here in Central Texas (Average) and in Statesville, North Carolina where I go every six months it's the same price. But aviation fuel that is 100 octane low lead is $2.46 here and at the Statesville airport it's $3.46.
