I don't doubt that's true but just how many FAA inspectors are out
sitting on docks waiting for planes to fuel up? I think I understand
the problems with alcohol enough that I would just use what's
available.

For a long cross country I've wondered what would happen if you use
alcohol fuels enroute and then ran avgas for the last 30 minutes at
your destination if you'd run enough of the alcohol out of the system
that it doesn't eat your airplane's fuel system.

I've seen sea plane pilots fill the back of their truck with avgas from
the airport and truck it down to the pond.

That's exactly what I'm talking about I've used fuel with alcohol but
I wouldn't leave it sitting in my tanks.
