Default AVGAS 80 & MOGAS

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...

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...
