Fuel Calc$

 

I had to take on fuel today to replenish what I burned coming home from Charleston SC. I gave some thought to making the 35 minute flight to KMFV Accomack Airport for $6.03 a gallon fuel. My cheap gene said do the calculations, is it really worth the flight to and from.

My total fuel when leaving Charleston was 52 gallons. When I landed I had 14 gallons remaining on 3 Tango Charlie. I would burn 6 gallons to Accomack which would leave me 8 gallons left on board.

50@ 6.03 = $301.50
38@ 6.50 = $247.00
