Thanks for the head's up. We've used over 9,000 gallons of mogas in our
Lycoming O-540, without a burp, at a savings of well over $10K. Obviously
this change will be catastrophic if it is, indeed, nationwide.

The Conti E-185 in the '47 V tail Bonanza is STCed for mogas, but the
biggest problem is getting it to the airplane.

Jay -- what changes do you see in leaning, startup, etc with mogas v.
100ll?
