My airplane has a 1950s era engine (Continental O-300), which is able to run on automotive fuel (“mogas”). However, mogas is not much available at the airports.

My airplane has a 1950s era engine (Continental O-300), which is able to run on automotive fuel (“mogas”). However, mogas is not much available at the airports. If there was a way to obtain it, I would use it. But it’s almost never an option.
- limitedmage 6y agoOne of the local flight clubs where I live has a trailer full of gas canisters. Once a week, someone drives with the trailer to one of the few gas stations left with ethanol-free fuel and fills up the canisters. It’s a lot of work but it saves the club a lot of money since mogas is much cheaper than avgas.
