New fuel for GA?
I'm guessing they are measuring fuel efficiency as MPG, so a denser fuel has
better numbers just like the denser diesel fuel has a built in MPG gallon advantage because it is heavier than relatively light gasoline. -- Best Regards, Mike http://photoshow.comcast.net/mikenoel "Eeyore" wrote in message ...

Engines that are optimised to run on 100LL are AFAIK unlikely to run any 'better' on anything else unless 're-tuned' and I'd imagine that has associated certification issues. Sounds like marketing twaddle to me ! Do you have a link to this article ? Graham
