The local airport stocks mogas without additives, which is a huge boon
to people like me who don't want to put the alky-diluted stuff in our
small engines (snowblower, lawnmower, chainsaw) where it can literally
gum the works. It was four dollars a gallon last time I brought the
stuff home, but I don't use that many gallons in a year.

I believe out here in California its illegal to sell mogas w/o the
ethanol.

Good grief. So it's all true about the Left Coast?

There was talk at one point of allowing pilots to purchase non-ethanol
fuel but it didn't appear sure that anyone would actually be willing
to make it and if it would be less expensive than 100LL. The ethanol
is mandated by the state by region I believe.
