Not really. For openers, after a couple of bad experiences with

There is no way mogas would cause such a thing. I've run over 4,500
gallons through our plane since 2002, and the previous owner ran it on mogas
for 10 years, in Iowa winters, with no such problem.

There is a mogas clique at the airport that suspects the real reason
the Cubs got de-STC'ed is that the instructors couldn't stand the
smell of the mogas.

But it is the case that we had some hairy moments with Zero Six
Hotel's engine quitting during the year and a half it was on mogas,
and that the problem went away when we went to 100LL.
