How often do guys like us fly to airports that sell Jet-A though?

A hell of a lot more than to those that sell 80/87. :~)

Of the 10 airports within 65 miles of my base, seven have Jet-A, and the
ones that don't have like a dozen or less aircraft based there, are
unattended. Not always, but usually. Those that don't have it, typically,
just a few miles down the road (okay..."just over there").

Of the 3968 FBO's nationwide, 3871 have 100LL, 2481 have Jet-A, 29 have
80/87, and 234 have Mogas.

The
article that "Pilot" wrote up mentioned that most U.S. orders were for
the Cont. engine version. I guess in the E.U. jet-A is more common.

More common and less expensive. When you pay for fuel what they do, it
really adds up.

I'm looking for something with all-weather capability, but it damn sure
isn't going to be a twin piston-popper. Been there, done that, got fed up
(Baron 58...nine months and 250 hours was enough).
