PilotGEEK Tutorial – How Do I Find Fuel Prices Along My Route?
One of our favorite features of the PilotGEEK cell phone briefer is the ability to find the best fuel prices along your route. Recreational and private pilots know that a fifty-cent difference in fuel price at a fill-up can have a big impact on the cost of your trip.
If a nearby airport has better fuel prices, you can save hundreds on fuel costs on a long cross-country trip if you know the alternatives!
Here’s how to do it:
Once you have requested a route briefing, you can get the fuel prices by selecting the FUEL link. Fuel links can be found in the Trip data for origination and destination airports or along the route at each METAR weather reporting station.
Clicking on a FUEL link will display a page with all of the fuel prices 25 or 50 nautical miles around the requested airport. The distance is determined by the route width that was specified in the Configure Cell Phone Options link.
If it is the first time you’ve utilized PilotGEEK’s AOPA portal, you will be requested to provide your AOPA username and password. Once you’ve supplied them, PilotGEEK will remember them for future use.
