“Avgas” in Swedish means “exhaust”, as in what you get from the tail pipe of a car. But I can’t tell if their use of the name “Avgas” for the product here is intentionally connected to the Swedish meaning of that word or not.
- throwawayboise 5y agoIt is a contraction of "aviation gasoline"
- AlotOfReading 5y agoIt's referring to avgas, a shortened name for aviation gasoline. I don't believe there's a relationship to the swedish. Historically there was also a corresponding mogas (motor gasoline), but the specifier got dropped in general usage.
