One thing about mogas, it is best to get the mogas that airports have

Total BS, most FBO's that sell mo gas are either small mom and pop
operations that do not have a very large tank to ask the local
distributer to eliminate the aditive package, or they only offer it
because they are also using it for their ground equipment. Besides the
additives are only detergents which would only help to get rid of
carbon and lead deposits. The alcohol is added at the refienery not
the distributer.


I wonder about that... I worked in the fuel business eons ago. The
additives WERE injected at the marketing terminal, i.e. when/where
the trucks were loaded. One reason was that same gas was often sold
by another company also on the same pipeline; and the additives were
part of the 'brand differentiation' the marketing driods love...

Yes,
But you won't get a distributor to eliminated the additive for a 6000
gallon truck to fill a one thousand gallon tank. That seems the
typical size for most mogas sold at an airport. But eliminating the
additive package won't eliminate the alcohol.
