I agree with the sentiment, but I wouldn't take a list compounded by Airnav as
an indication that these airports are advertising that they have 80/87. I
suspect that Airnav's info is somewhat out-of-date for many fields.


Here's some data from the ATA-100 APT.txt file dated 11/04/2004. This appears to
be the source that airnav.com uses. For 20329 APT records in the file, the
number of airports reporting selling each kind of fuel is as follows:

80 - GRADE 80 GASOLINE (RED): 275
100 - GRADE 100 GASOLINE (GREEN): 348
100LL - GRADE 100LL GASOLINE (LOW LEAD BLUE): 3524
115 - GRADE 115 GASOLINE: 23
A - JET A - KEROSENE, FREEZE POINT -40C: 2051
A1 - JET A-1 - KEROSENE, FREEZE POINT -50C: 52
A1+ - JET A-1 - KEROSENE, WITH ICING INHIBITOR,
FREEZE POINT -50C: 213
B - JET B - WIDE-CUT TURBINE FUEL,
FREEZE POINT -50C: 18
B+ - JET B - WIDE-CUT TURBINE FUEL WITH ICING INHIBITOR
FREEZE POINT -50C: 51
MOGAS - AUTOMOTIVE GASOLINE: 413

Note that many airports sell more than one kind of fuel.
No distinction is made among AIRPORT, GLIDERPORT, STOLPORT, etc.

No guarantee of accuracy, of course, but I know of no better data. Many of the
numbers seem low to me.
