List of airports with autofuel

Folks, I just ended up writing my own map. Check out:

This list from EAA seems very optimistic to me.

I'm looking for a website that has the entire list of all airports in
US that are reported to sell autofuel. airnav.com is close, but the
best I can search is a 200nm radius from a given point (airport or
lat/long). It'll take me over 200 searches in a grid search pattern to
cover the entire US.

Ideally, that list of the airports can be placed on a map. With the
lat-long information it can be easily achieved on a webpage with Google
map API.

Anyone knows where I can get such a list?


Here's a list.. UNVERIFIED... 300 locations.. including hawaii and
alaska. The cozy pilot friend got back to me, and I uploaded it to my
EAA chapter webpage. There are no links to this file on the chapter
webpage... have to link in directly from below.

I will work on adding them to the Frappr as I get time.

Many years ago, a friend used http://www.fillupflyer.com to obtain fuel
information when planning a long trip. This is a service which, for a fee,
provides a fuel report showing the locations with the cheapest fuel within
a specified distance from your planed route of flight. Alternatively, you
can get a report for all the FBO's in a given state.

The site says that they frequently poll the FBOs to compile this
information.

I'm not a customer, but out of curiosity took a peek at the web pages
today. For free, you only get sample reports and a current statistical
summary for the United States showing the hi/low/avg cost of fuel by type
by region and the number of FBOs carrying the specified type of fuel.
Today's report shows that in CONUS, only 98 FBOs supply autogas. (1,785
have JET-A, 2,286 have 100-LL, and 32 have 80.)

Im guessing you are a software person... is this based on the FAA data
(which i believe is free..) or where does your data come from?

Will yours automatically update or is easily updated to new data?

Will you add places that are "unadvertised" in the normal databases?

If yours does all that is needed, I will simply put the one I made on
the back burner.. no sense in needlessly duplicating efforts for no
additional benefit.


Also.. THANKS for your time and effort in making your map.
