Can the availability of this fuel be scaled readily, or will most people be stuck with leaded fuel still? Can companies other than GAMI make this fuel?

  GAMI claims the licensing for this will be relatively open, and Avfuel (very strong presence in GA fuel) claims they'll be pushing this out, so at least in theory it could see relatively rapid adoption.

    George Braly (principal engineer at GAMI) has also claimed that all ingredients are readily available to and capable of being processed at any refinery currently making 100LL.

      I thought 100LL was basically only made in one refinery? Or maybe I'm misremembering and it's TEL that's only made in one factory, worldwide.

        TEL (the lead additive) is only made in one factory (in the UK, IIRC). 100LL is formulated at multiple terminals in the US.
