My airport was selling it right up until 2002. Oddly enough, I saw some red gas the other day. My tiedown neighbor owns a 150 that never flies. Every few years, he spends several thousand on an annual and maintenance, then ends up not flying. The cycle repeats every other year. Just the other day he had a team of A&Ps and IA surrounding the plane on the ramp, getting it ready to fly again. He's finally selling it. When he sampled the fuel and it came out red colored, everyone on the ramp just busted out laughing. We figured he had the last surviving example of 80/87 aviation gas in the country. Too bad such rarity doesn't make his ramp queen worth any more :-( John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)
