I paid $4.98 at Gen DeWitt Spain airport here in Memphis yesterday.  The closest that's ever any lower than that is Kennett, MO.  I think it's around $4.50 right now.   It's in the MO boothill.  If I'm ever coming from that direction, I always fill up there.   Check out airnav.com for good fuel prices in your area.

Little Tavern humor.

Maybe we should make this the secret Tavern.

In southeast GA, the going rate is $4.90 for Jet A, and $5.18 for full service AVGAS.

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

One of the guys at Million Air told me that the self-serve at the other facility has a reputation for contamination. I personally doubt that quite a bit, but I always feel better sumping very carefully no matter where I got the fuel. It's frustratingly common at Central for the trainers to sit overnight with 1/4 tanks and gather a lot of condensation.

And burning off the mags is standard practice during the run-up checks because people don't seem to lean the dang mix!
