I think that there will still be enough demand for a suitable high octane
aviation gasoline that it will be made available -- at some price. The
real
key is that Continental and Lycoming need to get to work on building
engines
(and airframe manufacturers need to make fuel tanks and lines) that work
with premium mogas, including those with ethanol. Otherwise, the future
for
light GA aircraft will be diesel
