[net.aviation] Insurance

Just to add a new topic of discussion.....I noticed on renewal of my
umbrella liability insurance that aviation coverage was an available option.
After inquiring as to the cost, it appears to be a bargain relative to other
prices I've seen.
For an additional $100 per year on my basic coverage I get $5,000,000 liability
coverage, assuming underlying coverage of $250,000/$100,000 per seat (which is
provided by the FBO on rented craft).
The last time I checked, AVEMCO coverage was $75 per year for only $500,000
of coverage.

This policy is available from ALLSTATE (I am not affiliated), and might
bear investigation by others so concerned.

I currently insure my 1975 C-172 through AVEMCO.  I have 250,000 plus full
hull of 17,000.  I paid $1470 last year to cover commercial flight
instruction - or PIC with 1000 hrs or more.  Is anyone out there in netland
is getting a better deal.  I would like to have the auto-gas option but
AVEMCO will only insure auto-gas for private and business use - not
commercial.

Thanks

P.S. To the person who carries 240 lb. of avgas in his C-150....does it have
long range tanks? Standard fuel is 26 gal (22.5 usable) that comes out to
156 lbs.
