Default AVGAS 80 & MOGAS

Modesto CA still has legal mogas. THe catch is that they have to take it
8000 gallons at a time (full tanker load).

The alcohol is blended into the gasoline right at the tanker load spigot and
"mixed" with the tanker sloshing it all around on the trip to your local gas
station, so all they have to do is turn off the alcohol switch and the whole
damned load is alky free. But, as I said, you have to take a full tanker
load of it and most airports can't afford to do that.

I used to too. However, do you find many places that still has legal
autogas? In California it seems all the gas has the prohibited
ethanol. With the liberal states requiring ethanol to starve the
Mexicans from their tortillas and the midwester states requiring it to
boast their own pockets it doesn't seem like anyone is left with old
fashion, FAA approved, mogas.
