With the worldwide airline industry operating at just a fraction of its usual capacity, and general and business aviation operators mostly under “stay at home” orders because of the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, US skies are for the most part empty, as aircraft of all shapes and sizes remain grounded. But for those who continue to fly and must purchase either 100LL avgas for piston-powered aircraft, mogas for experimental and light-sport aircraft, or jet-A for turbine aircraft, significant pressures in the oil industry have resulted in fuel prices falling at FBOs across the country.

Key Takeaways:
- The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced air travel demand and created an oversupply of crude oil, leading to falling prices for 100LL avgas, mogas, and jet-A across US FBOs.
- Despite this general decline, aviation fuel prices exhibit considerable regional disparity nationwide, with averages ranging from $3.68 for mogas to $4.73 for 100LL avgas, alongside wide fluctuations between reported low and high prices.
