If user fees go into effect I'm done
In todays AvWebFlash they state that the FAA proposal recommends
increasing the av gas tax from around 19-21 cents to 70 cents (US). If their goal is to kill GA this is a step in the right direction. Ron Lee

Ron Lee Most likely we'll be lining up for autogas conversions. Which will increase the pressure for user fees. And on and on and on. Scott

Those that can't now would need an electronic ignition. The few that never will are the high HP turbo models, such as in the Navajo Chieftain.

I won't argue percentages, but I keep hoping technology will rescue us before I need to replace my matched pair of TSIO520NBRs again. I doubt that turbodiesels are in my future, but it's hard to know for sure.

Some 70% of the piston flying is done with high performance engines that can't use mogas, my Six included. Rather like the old 80/20 syndrome - 80% of the flying is done by 20% of the aircraft, which is the high performance stock that needs 100LL. Whatever happened to GAMI's PRISM ignition STC? The simple (relatively) conversion would ostensibly allow even rotgut gas in the most touchy turbo piston engines.

They don't stand a chance.
