That's because you spent your gas money on that funky software that 
doesn't talk to the free version that us poor working stiffs have to 
use.  Actually, like Bob said, I could've saved it to the Mickysoft 
format, but I wasn't being very attentive.

You didn't add in the headwinds, did you?  The flying club's new gas 
prices just came in.  $4.12/gal.

Today, that RR trip with a 50mph headwind would see a $19 spread.  That 
goes to a $40.62 spread with a 50mph tailwind.  You'll spend an hour to 
save the $19, and 3 hours to save the $40.  Of course, I'm currently 
paying about $100 to spend an hour in the cockpit of a Cherokee.  From 
that perspective, the lower fuel burn looks like a winner from all sides.

You wouldn't believe.
