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

"JGalban via AviationKB.com" u32749@uwe writes:

If you're O-360 happens to be in a Cherokee, you can already get an auto
gas STC. Otherwise, I wouldn't hold my breath on this Lycoming move. The
autogas spec they're trying to get approved can contain oxygenates (mainly
ethanol, now that MTBE is gone).


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...
