I used to too. However, do you find many places that still has legal
autogas? In California it seems all the gas has the prohibited ethanol. With the liberal states requiring ethanol to starve the Mexicans from their tortillas and the midwester states requiring it to boast their own pockets it doesn't seem like anyone is left with old fashion, FAA approved, mogas. No problem getting unpolluted, ethanol free gas here in Iowa, ironically the source of most ethanol. Mary and I are about to pass 9,000 gallons of trouble-free mogas usage in our Cherokee(s), all dispensed from our Mighty Grape fuel hauler. At the current price differential of $2.25+ per gallon, using mogas will have paid for my next engine... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Yep.....Jay, every time I think about the corn states exporting their lousy fuel to other states, and not using it locally, it tics me off. I put over 1500 hours on a Lyc with a Peterson STC, and that was the best fuel for that engine.....bar none. The plugs were clean, the oil remained clean 2-3 times longer etc. But alas....now mogas in our area all has alcohol, so now I clean plugs and change oil more often......and of course pay the higher price for 100LL. Oh well... John Severyn @KLVK Livermore, Ca. |
