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...

That's the line I was thinking along. There are maybe a couple of
refineries making avgas. A very limited market. The rest are making
auto gas and blending it before delivery to the local quick mart. If
you wanted it unblended I don't think it would be a big problem. I can
see the problem Dave mentioned for the FBOs. Not sure how that will
play out.
