Oil crisis?

[Launchbury]

Fuel prices in my game have been blowing up. 100LL has reached 1.50USD per liter (6 bucks a gallon? attrocious) and Jet-A is well on
its way., with a current price of $1.01. The market is forcasted to just get stronger. Has anyone else had trouble with gas prices?

In my previous installation of FSP on my old computer gas dipped as low as $0.50 a liter. Those were the good old days! ;P

I think it's just random.

Keep in mind, people in Europe have to pay ~$6/Gallon for gasoline

Maybe it's a projection of the U.S. midterms in a week... the Republicans gain seats in the House and Senate... sorry.

I'm not sure the correlation, but made me laugh nonetheless... Was that a prediction or wish? ;-)

I think prices vary at different airports, there is a menu option within FSP to look at airport costs.

Neither. I don't think it will happen, nor do I want it to happen But maybe FsP can predict better than I can and is raising oil prices to cope with it happening.

Yes, but there is also a general market price by which all airports are affected. Jet-A is now 1.09/Litre for me. D:
