There is no real reason that FBO's can not get un-tainted gasoline. The
alcohols are added in when the truck is filled. The difficulties are
procedural not strategic...
In some states the alcholol is required by law in auto fuel. Not sure
if the refinerys are going to be interested in making a special
aviation batch when they already make 100LL.
