Trip support software provider iFlightPlanner has introduced monthly aviation fuel pricing reports with data culled from 3,350 FBOs and fuel service providers across the U.S. In its inaugural report, the company noted that fuel prices in the U.S. showed a general decrease last month. Full-service jet-A averaged $6.24 a gallon, a decrease of 13 cents versus November.

In the U.S. central region, pricing averaged $5.67 per gallon, down 26 cents month-over-month, while in the South, it was down 2.5% to $6.22 a gallon. Aside from Alaska ($8.09) and Hawaii ($7.85), the New England region saw the highest average price per gallon at $6.52, still an approximate 1% month-over-month decrease. For the contiguous U.S., the average price was $6.15 a gallon, while self-service jet-A averaged about $1 less per gallon.

Nationally, 100LL avgas pricing followed a similar trend. Full-service 100LL averaged $6.34 (with peaks of $10.19 and $9.92 for Alaska and Hawaii, respectively), a decrease of 4 cents (down 0.6%) from November, while 100LL self-service averaged $5.46, representing an approximate 14% savings where self-service fuel is available.
