Buying fuel in real life

[nabpp]

im sure someone has a PPL so when getting fuel from the truck or pump how does it measure the quantity like is it pounds, liters, gallons or whatever and also does anybody know a good place to find the price of fuel currently at an airfield?

From the fuel bowser I use, the quantity is measured in gallons. For commercial traffic in Europe however it would typically be measured in kilograms, whereas the USA uses pounds.

As for prices, you can use AirNav, at least for the USA anyway.

By your location I am assuming you're talking about the US, as it varies by country and by type of usage. (military and civil do different things)

http://100ll.com/ is the most-used website for aviation fuel that I know of, but airnav is also very useful: http://www.airnav.com/fuel/local.html

You will be billed in gallons in the USA, although there are some (much) older fuel trucks that have the counter calibrated in pounds, but you will always see that converted to gallons for when you get billed in my experience.
