I've been using mogas in my Tripacer for 6 years now, but we've recently
(MA) switched to ethanol. I actually had to siphon my tanks after putting in
what I thought was MTBE gas. This change along with the rapidly rising fuel
costs have me seriously considering selling the plane-something I really
don't want to do.

But here I am on a beautiful Sunday morning typing away instead of flying
away. This is a real double whammy for me. Either the rising prices OR the
ethanol thing I could probably absorb, but both together is a real killer.

To those who fly with STCs for motor fuel instead of avgas, is the
phase-out of MTBE affecting you?
