- cjrp 2y agoThe majority, but not all - some run on UL91 or even "mogas" (unleaded fuel from the petrol station).
- 0_____0 2y agoSome of the smaller airports in the Bay Area (HWD, RHV, SQL) have UL94 but not all (PAO, HAF, and the large ones SJC, SFO, OAK don't). Fuel from a petrol station off field doesn't do you a lot of good, and it really doesn't help if you're refueling en route.
