| It's been a few years since I've flown a small plane but I remember the most common plane, the Cessna 172, burned about 8-10 gallons per hour. I'm guessing Avgas (100 octane gasoline for prop planes) costs about 5 or 6 bucks a gallon now. If you don't own a plane you can rent one by the hour, the time is charged whenever the engine is running. It was $119 an hour to rent a late model plane and $80 an hour to rent the older one a few years ago. The rental usually includes the fuel.
