flight school installing an autofuel tank

The owner of a flight school at my airport (PAE) told me today that
he'll soon install a 1500 gallon fuel tank for 91 octane autofuel, to
supply fuel for his STC'ed cherokees and the Stingsport LSA on his
flightline (he's a dealer for Stingsport LSA). What a concept! He can
save a whole bunch on fuel, offering a better wet rental rate, and I'll
have another on-airport autofuel supplier in this area (the other is at
the self serve pump at AWO).

In case people didn't notice, the price gap between avgas and autogas
is no longer $1/gallon. It has grown to something more like
$1.30/gallon.

Our local flight school owner just bought an old fuel truck out of
trade-a-plane and buys 100LL bulk from the oil company. Their truck
comes out to the airport and fills his truck. (He gets around the state
transport laws because his truck never touches public roads). His price
on the direct bought 100LL is pretty awesome. Now I see him out there
in the mornings putting gas in all his planes. Of course the fuel
dealer on the field had been charging $5.25 for self serve at the time
too, so there was quiet an incentive.
