And I think that may still overstate the 80/87 availability.
It's been steadily becoming harder to get as you have to go further
and further away to get it. Our airport was the last holdout in the
area which would by a tanker car and then truck it in. However, the
"truck in" leg got progressively longer to make it unfeasible. It
was much more expensive than 100LL the last decade or so it was
available.

Those airport update surveys aren't updated very often or accurately.

The prices can be up to a year old or even longer, but I doubt that the mix
changes very much. If anything, I'd venture that more and more are carrying
Jet-A as the turbine fleet is proliferating.

Here's hoping that GAMI can get STC approval for it's PRISM system sometime
soon.

I doubt that many of those actually have 80/87. It hasn't been made for some
time now.

They advertise it, I'd hope them have it. Probably are some rather old
stocks?

I wonder how many are carrying mogas as a more recent inventory item.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm watching GAMI's PRISM system. They've been
claiming "STC is coming soon" for over two years now. If it does what they
say it will, I'd love to be an investor in their operation.

How often do guys like us fly to airports that sell Jet-A though? The
article that "Pilot" wrote up mentioned that most U.S. orders were for
the Cont. engine version. I guess in the E.U. jet-A is more common.

But....Jet A will be around in 10 years. Leaded avgas....?

Yes.

Maybe. But at what price? At this rate the $100 hamburger will have morphed
into a $250 White Castle burger.

Checked my logs against AirNav: during 2004, we landed at 43 separate
airports and Jet-A was available at all but four (RPX, AZ82, 00V, & F14).
