AutoGas question.. Jay Honeck, Jim Weir.. others..

Are there many places where autogas is still legal? I live near
Sacramento and our auto gas contains additives that the FAA prohibits
under all autogas STCs.

The only "additive" that is prohibited (that I've heard of) is
alcohol. Alcohol-free gasoline is available in large parts of the
country. Most metropolitan areas used either alcohol or MTBE as an
oxygenate (here in PHX we used both), but MTBE has been getting phased
out over the past few years and it will soon be alcohol only. Still,
outside of metro areas, there should be plenty of unadulterated
autogas.

I'm still burning avgas, but, in my case, I'd have to burn half a tank of fuel to
find mogas without additives. The entire State is required to sell it. Probably
Maryland would be the closest source.

In Minnesota it is still legal to sell pure gasoline at Marinas and at
airports. Some of the more major filling stations have a premium
unleaded for off road engines etc. I use FBOs mostly.
