The rotary on the other hand is a whole new ball game.

BTW here are some auto fuel prices per US gallon in suburban So CA
low test 1.85
high test 2.00
diesel 2.20

Where is the diesel advantage? Don't know what JP4 is going for.

Paul,

This probably doesn't apply where you live, but if you
happen to base your plane on a grass strip which is zoned by
the county as agricultural land, you can buy ag. diesel for
about a buck a gallon. I've got a friend who claims he can
operate his Walter turbine CompAir 7 for less fuel cost per
mile than his Cessna 185.

I'd REALLY like to hear from the guy who was operating a
rotary on heavy fuel.
