Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 3:43 pm Post subject: MPG and time

I've never done the math (just like I've never totaled my annual operating 

costs) but this fits with my experience.  I always use the large-SUV analogy 

when speaking to non-aviators.



Unlike Gary's factor of 2.5 driving to flying time, I have found 3.0 to be 

accurate.  Most likely that is due to my east coast flying where major roads 

between any 2 cities are less common.  I have also been able to live within 

a 5 minute drive to my airport.



Again, afraid to do the math, but I plan to seriously re-evaluate my general 

aviation activities when 100LL averages $5/gal.  Which entrepreneur is going 

to invest in obtaining the MoGas STC for Tigers?
