Default Future of GA piston fuel?

They are looking at a universal "gasoline" for cars and
aviation. Can be done fairly easily for new engines, but
retrofitting high compression, turbo-charged or other high
demand engines will cost a lot.
The government and private organizations are working on it.


The introduction of alcohol into many/most autofuels is pretty much mucking
up any plan for a universal fuel...

| Jet-A in diesel engines?
