Jet-A fuel question?????????

Question

Whats the average cost for a gallon of Jet-A fuel. Its part of my project the im doing for scholl, so yea does any1 kno.

Answer 1

Don't know an average, but the FBO at the busiest airport in the world (fill in the blank) charges around $6.00 a gallon. They're on the high end, but they feel they can charge it since they're the only FBO. No competition.

Answer 2

It is about the same as high octane gas.

Answer 3

$5.00

Answer 4

About $150 a gallon.

EDIT:  Ooops, thanks folks - I missed that decimal point - wanted $1.50 - buy the way: that link that Rotor Wing Flight gave http://airnav.com/airports/  is totally cool... tons of info for pilots about each airport... thank you!!!

Answer 5

the price of Jet A depends on whom is buying it.  If you happen to be a big user, like the military, you can get for a buck or more a gallon.  If you happen to fly your helicopter into the local FBO you could spend anywhere from 4 to 9 dollars a gallon.

Answer 6

Wow, skyhawk gives a correct answer for what airlines pay for fuel and gets 3 thumbs down.

Steve gives a good answer if you are talking about the price for general aviation.

I guess I can expect a few thumbs down now.

Answer 9

Around 4.50 a gallon . Tom said 150 , wow , If that where true it would cost around $930,000 to fuel a 737.

Answer 10

I have been paying between $3.25-$4.50 per gallon over the last 4 years.

If you go to

http://airnav.com/airports/

You can type in any airport in the country, scroll down and it has fuel prices listed for most airports.

Jet A at LAX (Los Angeles) is $6.44/gallon.

Airlines will purchase fuel in HUGE quantities and get much better deals.

Hope this helps.
