AvGas is getting out of control

Is it affecting your flying? Really glad to be single engine with 4 cylinders and 6 gph on average for local flying!

No, the price of fuel has no limited my flying in recent months. It was the temperature. Now it has cooled down a bit I expect to be back to flying at least once a week.

Best local fuel price just increased from $6.15 to $6.25.

I assume 6 gph was for Hobbs time. I log gals per tac hour but do have data for my first approx 500 hours.

I was talking about the fuel flow during typical flying for me. AvGas around me, lowest is near $6 at the army base I can fuel at which is nice, otherwise the GA hating airports like mine are approaching $9/gal.

100LL, like most fuels, is getting more expensive by the hour, but as far as I can tell, it still isn't the most expensive part of total ownership, and I would rather eat the cost than let the plane rot and lose the flying time, as we are all on the clock.
