Current Aviation Fuel Prices
o As of 23 Dec 2099
o 100LL: $19.37
o JetA: $.23
I see a problem with this, that was on the right side of your web page. Unless we are living in the future, I think the date is wrong.

hehehe. That was jus a test, cuz I didn’t know the current prices. The Date isn’t auto-configured by the system (a possible future upgrade, though I left it as a date that’s entered by the admin for maximum flexibility - maybe they want to lie and say it’s been a certain price since 1902, or something).
That, or we are living in the future, and Jet Fuel is really, really cheap.

[…]Taking the award for most specialized widget, here is the AvFuel widget for displaying the current prices of aviation fuel on your very own airport blog. What’s next?[…]

Make fun of my AvFuel Widget if you will!
But it seemed a perfect use for a widget in this case, and it does the job.
The code could be easily altered for an unimaginable number of uses, too, if someone’s in need of a simple method of updating non-random, internalized information. Change a few labels and you’re set, really.
Just updated the thing, as well (v1.1) to prettify (yes, that’s now a word) the output a tad. The whole thing will likely work as a simple plugin, if someone wanted it and was still languishing in a state of non-widgetity (that’s now a word, too). Haven’t actually tested it, but the call to output should do it.
