The only time there's too much gas in a plane is when it's on fire!
Or on a hot, humid day with a passenger and a short runway that has trees at the end.
Eric -
In some terms I agree but your logic is flawed...
Actually sounds like one too many PHAT A$$e$ in the plane - So the debate becomes - Passengers? or Fuel? Only one is essential for flight in a 150...
I have a friend who isn't fat - just a really big guy - weighs 320 - and have told him a number of times we can't go together... 170 (ME) + 320 (HIM) = No Fuel, No Oil, No cargo, No radios, and still over gross....
Lets face it - Even at 4.10 a gallon or more it's the cheapest thing we buy for our airplanes..
