Keep in mind that this isn't really equivalent, cost-wise, to the crime of taking a car for a joyride -- airplane engines have rigorous maintenance schedules that require expensive overhauls, and aviation gasoline looks to be over double the price of "car" gasoline (and the MPG for that Cessna is probably half that of a decent car).
