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.

Yep, and all you have to do is to fly to Europe to get ASTM D4814 gas.
I guess its not too far out of my way to get cheap gas
