Just over the border in Tennessee AVGAS gas is about $ 3.38 Gal! ????? WHY??? The usual reason is that Birmingham probably sells more fuel than the Tennesee airport. Avgas is usually priced by the cost of the load, when delivered to the airport. This is unlike autogas stations that constantly change their prices to follow the market. If the Tennesee airport is still working on getting rid of 2,000 gallons that they bought 3 weeks ago, then the price would be substantially lower. I see this at my local airport all the time. We have two self serve pumps run by different vendors. When prices are going up, whichever pump has the newest fuel is priced higher. It works in reverse when prices are dropping.

Our problem is a tank too small to take a full load and we sometimes get an extra charge for split load. We will fix that this year. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI Back to top BT Guest Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:12 am    Post subject: Re: Avgas prices in your area? last weekend, $3.95 per gallon 100LL, 0L7, self serve BT "wise purchaser" <dfrantz (AT) tennessee (DOT) com> wrote in message news:1177038083.057003.121870 (AT) q75g2000hsh (DOT) googlegroups.com...

I fly between Buffalo, NY, and Syracuse, NY, weekly and have been tankering up at a small airport just outside of Buffalo (Lancaster, NY) for $3.45/gal when conditions allow (that airport does not have an instrument approach). Upon reading your thread I realized I hadn't checked the prices at those two class C airport in perhaps six months and according to Airnav both are now over $5.25/gal.
