However, fuel salex went from 61,769 gallons in February to 66,185 gallons in March. Fuel usagew has dropped at the .
Even so, officiald there also are seeing signs ofa rebound. Melissaw McCoy, spokesperson for the Salina Airport says March’s fuel total of 182,2054 gallons was the lowest level seen since the earluy 90s.

But with spring in the air and theweathefr clearing, Anderson says more people are returningt to flying their piston-driven planes.
Those airplanes burn AVgas, and Andersobn says sales increased 5 percentin “I think what we’r e seeing is more people, now that they have a bette r handle on the are going back to aviation.” He has seen a drop in jet fuel sales though, which he says are down 20 percenty from this time last year. crews aren’t flying through Newton as theyused to.
