Fuel Watch

March 4, 2009

The following fuel prices were derived from transactions completed with the AVCARD credit card during January. Not all operations sell both jet-A and avgas. The figures for jet fuel prices will be more representative than those for avgas, due to the higher number of transactions recorded. Prices reflect all taxes and discounts. Data is supplied from AVCARD in consolidated format; individual transactions are not disclosed.
