Does your FBO also sell 80 or 115 octane?


Does anybody make 115 octane anymore?

I don't know. My point is that on most med to small airports, if it smells
like gas, it's going to be 100LL.

If that was so there'd be little reason to add dyes to avgas. There's
reason for concern if the fuel is not the proper color.

And not mogas, which has a very distinctive and unpleasant smell. The
Cubs on my airfield were STC'ed for mogas, but the instructors
complained so much that the STCs were yanked, and the planes are now
placard for 100LL.

If I can smell gas of either sort during normal operations, I won't be flying that
aircraft.
