One thing about mogas, it is best to get the mogas that airports have
.They typically get car gas that does not have the car gas additives.

Total BS, most FBO's that sell mo gas are either small mom and pop
operations that do not have a very large tank to ask the local
distributer to eliminate the aditive package, or they only offer it
because they are also using it for their ground equipment. Besides the
additives are only detergents which would only help to get rid of
carbon and lead deposits. The alcohol is added at the refienery not
the distributer.


I wonder about that... I worked in the fuel business eons ago. The
additives WERE injected at the marketing terminal, i.e. when/where
the trucks were loaded. One reason was that same gas was often sold
by another company also on the same pipeline; and the additives were
part of the 'brand differentiation' the marketing driods love...

This FAQ is geared towards automotive gasoline but it was quite
an eye opener when I got done reading it.

It explains many of the reasons why gas prices vary from place
to place in seeming illogical fashion. Once you know the reasons
why, it's not so confusing. Although that doesn't help the fact
that some are still having to give their first born to gas up.
