What are the fuel prices per gallon in the US for a cessna....

Up in canuck land it is 1.63 per litre.......

this skydiving outfit comes into town twice a year and does a shit load of first time jumpers...

Last night I went out to do a few jumps and he wanted to charge me $40cdn to go to 11,500..and $300cdn for a tandem

A month ago a different out fit was hear doing a fund raiser with the arthritis foundation....
they charged $28 cdn to 9,000 and $190 cdn for a tandem

It not so many words I told him to fuck himself and he is just hosing everyone....
another guy there with out gear but able to go all the way up, they charged him $100cdn....

So I would like to know how much a gallon of fuel for a cessna in the states is....he tried telling me that it is double....

thanks for the info

Let me know your thoughts on this also....


thanks Mike

Varies from place to place. You can look it up at http://www.airnav.com/fuel/

Near me, it's $4.59 per gallon. That's $5.09 canadian per gallon or $1.34 canadian per liter.

That's some spensive fuel ya got up there. But believable...

thanks Dave for the link.....

As I thought the prices are only different by at most .50 to .60 cents a litre...which doesnt justify the $40 jump ticket to 11,500.....

But it is capitalism.

You have to pay for the ferry fee to get the plane to the airport, his time to file for any needed permits, etc. Capitalism in action.
