Hi Netter. My Franklin 120A that is going into my KR2M burns 3.5 Imp.Gal/hour. That is at max power. This is 3.5 x 4.5 = 15.75
liters per hour. Now you figure the rest, gasoline costs Ca $0.93 for 92 octane auto gas. That is US $0.76 per liter, Based on todays Canadian prices. When I was in Panama recently I found that the gas prices were about US $0.50 per US gal. or about US $0.125 per liter. Last month I was in Portugal where the price of regular unleaded auto gas was Ca$1.75 per liter. (US $ 1.44 per liter.) I did not check the price of high octane auto fuel. All of this when oil is about US$50. per barrel. My flying could cost me Ca$14.65 an hour for gas. How much does your engine burn per hour, Max? Gas prices can only go up. If some terrorist blow up the Saudi pipeline and supply is cut off for even a few months, the price of crude oil will hit US$100. per barrel.Then watch the price of gas go up. The reason that gas is cheap in Panama is that they dont tax it. We do . Europe really knows how to tax gas. In the near future we will have to use more efficient engines in our planes.
