Have you tried getting mogas lately? Even auto gas is becoming

Ethanol has nothing to do with this. Why 100LL doens't have ethanol
in it? Because the oil company doens't blend it when it's loaded into
the truck.

Geez...anothe Mxmaniac.


It's very simple for oil company to produce an unleaded *aviation*
gasoline with AKI similar to 91/96 avgas that would cost about the
same as Premium autofuel, transported via the normal pipeline system.
The only reason this is not happening is the aviation industry has its
head in the sand and continues to produce *new* airplanes requiring
100LL instead of 91/96. It prevents the market for the 91 unleaded
avgas to develop, and the industry suffers as a result because of the
ever lowering number of GA hours flown.
