Couldn't get your spreadsheet to work, Earnest.
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.
Naturally the further you travel and the higher the price of fuel, the more
$$ you save and the more time you spend.
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 really were bored weren't you {:>)
You wouldn't believe.
