The Cubs at Hampton NH airfield were STC'ed for mogas when 80 octane
became unavailable. The general feeling was that the engines had a
tendency to stall in cold weather. (They certainly did have such a
tendency, whatever the cause.) Furthermore, the instructors didn't
like the smell of it (the instructor sits in the front seat of a Cub).

Hampton still sells mogas (at one point it was cheaper on the field
than at the gas stations all around) but the STCs have been removed
and the Cubs run on 100LL.
