I really don't understand your logic here. What good is it going to do

on a "true cross country" if Joe's gas station sells ethanol free gas? I
don't think Joe is going to deliver and the FBO will probably frown on
loading up the crew car with gas cans.

I frequent two airports on a regular basis. At one I've got a hangar and
at the other I keep a beat up airport car with 4 gas cans in the trunk.

Also, just because Joe bought his
gas at the ethanol free terminal this week, doesn't mean he won't buy his
gas from a 10% ethanol terminal next week. It's best to buy or make your
own test kit and test a sample before you buy.

Yup, just the added hassle of auto fuel. Still worth it to me. I've been
using it since 80 octane disappeared. The price is certainly more
attractive, but my engine just runs better on it.

Just check Airnav for mogas in the area in which you're concerned. W90
seems to be the closest airport that has it.

Of the two airports I mentioned above, one has no reported mogas within
100
miles and the other one has it at an airport 90 miles beyond it. I've
been known to go out of my way for cheap gas, but that seems excessive.

If you get enough people together, you might be able to set up your own tank
and have it delivered. I know people who have done that. The problems you
run into is auto fuel doesn't keep long and fuel tank laws vary from state
to state. Delivery charges can eat up your savings also unless you have a
lot delivered, which is why you generally need several people to go in
together to make it work.
