| Strictly a "100$ hamburger" type plane. Costs about 30-35$/hour to fly (total costs). Burns 5 gal/hour. Its just for local pleasure flights really. Cant carry any real load, and it only goes about 100 mph. Range of about 280-325 miles depending on winds. |

$30-35??!?! I wish we had those rates out here! A 152 around these parts is 86/hr. |

| Thats MY cost to fly it, I dont rent. I own the aircraft free and clear. I consider insurance, fuel, and a certain amount for maintenance each hour in determining the cost. |

You guys still have it cheap then; the 152 at my flying club rents for the equivalent of 190 dollars/hour, fuel included. |

Avgas 5.65/gal.
I just attended a recent fly in of Cessna 150 owners in Iowa. Attendance was down about 25%. Avgas prices are really starting to hurt General Aviation on the recreational side.
Jet Fuel 3.96/gal.
While that is down a bit since last week or two it is still ridiculously high and not commensurate with the decrease in crude prices.
Airlines are still bleeding due to this. It's going to be very interesting to see how long this can go on before they start dropping out of the race. |

Avgas 5.58 This number isn't coming down very fast and it's got me ticked off.
Jetfuel 3.33 Thats better but over the longer term its still very high. Anything over 2.25 or so could be considered very expensive as of just a year or two ago. |
