Fuel is so expensive....

[TennShadow]

I'm using live fuel prices and all I can say is "ouch". As of the time of this posting my VA has 79 flights recorded with over $3,000,000.00 spent in fuel! Thank goodness I have plenty of "virtual passengers" flying with us or I'd go bankrupt.

Sorry, just had to post this little bit of silliness.

How to reduce fuel costs:

- Only use the amount of fuel you NEED! ?(Extra fuel is extra money down the drain) IFR Example:

- Fuel to destination airport + fuel to alternate from destination airport + 10% more fuel = How much fuel you need

- Use aircraft with non-fuel guzzling engines (Now we are getting realistic)

- Use altitude!

- Don't fly at 100% thrust for the whole flight!

- Get information from your FMC (If your aircraft dosn't have an FMC you can use vasFMC 2)
