Default Lycoming to approve 93 octane auto gas for O-360 & IO-360

Due to the problems of getting 100LL in many places, Lycoming is
seeking FAA approval for the standard compression engines to be able
to use 93 octane auto gas. Link to avweb article bellow. Sounds like
good news, since I have an O-360. Maybe airports will start to carry
it.

I suspect that Continental will follow.
It makes sense, with the price of avgas going through the roof more
people will think twice( or more) about flying and buying aircraft.

With more airports supplying more cost effective fuel it will help most
aspects of general aviation.
Maybe those FBOs which have been holding us small GA aircraft hostage
with their high prices for fuel will rethink things a little bit.
Thanks for the heads up Bud.
