Easy question to answer since I am in the aviation business.

You say where did .30 a gallon come from simple .30 is actually a low number if you are selling Jet-A fuel and financing it most of the time the actual number is .50 to .60 cents.

And no its not ridiculously high, the major airlines buy in bulk and you only make .03 to .06 a gallon but they have the money to employ a big fueling department with large overhead and all the headaches and insurances that come with an operation like that but the smaller Airlines don't have the deep pockets to have a fuel purchasing department, thats where FLST comes in since FLST has no bureaucracy like the airlines do and FLST can be run with much less personnel the margins are incredible.

If you would like to do some DD just call your local regional airport and ask them how much does a gallon of Jet-A cost then call a commodities broker and ask them the same question if you did that you would see the big difference in price.
