Does anyone have information where and how many refineries are able to
produce 100LL. Is it a problem of logistics? It is hard to imagine that all
refineries all over the world are producing cargas and all the other
derivates beside avgas on a 100% capcity!

Heard once time ago that there should only be 4 refineries which are
producing avgas. Think there was a shortage in Southafrica then. Any
thoughts why?


I believe there are only three producing AVGAS now. I think part
of the problem is that for the amount invovlved its just becoming
more and more of a hassle and expense, due in part with conforming
with govt. regulations about lead and the logistics of shipping it
(can't use pipelines because of lead) and transportations costs are
rising.
