I started negotiating with Scottsdale Airport (SDL) to install self fuel for 100LL 7 years ago. Last week the FBO started it's self service pump. When this was being negotiated self fuel did not go out for a request for proposal (RFP) as the FBO said it would be competitive in it's price. Well that did not happen.
The price at SDL is .95 higher than Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT), pre paid, which is only 10 miles west of SDL.
Here is how you can help. The Aviation Director, Gary Mascaro, asked for phone calls to his office stating that the self fuel price at SDL is too high and not competitive.
I am ask you, your spouse, girl or boy friend to take Gary up on his offer, and call him at
480-312-7735, and tell him the price at SDL self fuel is too high and you are not going to use it. If he gets enough calls he can negotiate a better price on self fuel. Do not beat him up on the phone as he is a good guy and can help us out.
There are 28,000+ of you who have read this column. Your phone calls would be appreciated and this is what he asked for. If you get a voice mail just leave a message. You can tell him if fuel was only .25 more than DVT you would use it. It does not matter if you fly or not, and you do not have to leave your name.
This is your chance to help others who love to fly but cannot afford high fuel prices. So please help us out and make that call!
