Exactly my point. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't fly the
airplane until the "fuel-low" light comes on like I do in my car. I fill my Cherokee
(50 gal tanks) with 6 gallon cans. I find that unless I just came back from a trip and
the tanks are fairly empty, just stopping by the gas station an filling up one or two
on the way to the airport is enough. How often do you fly your 152 more than the 2-2.5
hours you can get in a two 6-gallon cans?

The fuel truck would be great if you flew long distances a lot. If you fly
infrequently or fairly locally, filling from cans isn't that bad. I highly recommend
getting a water-separating filter of some sort, however... pump gas can have a bit of
crud/water in it.

I'm assuming that the 152 qualifies for the 91-octane STC from Petersen only,
right? I've been using 93 A.K.I cargas in my 180 hp O-360 for almost a year (probably
100 hours with cross-countries and instrument training). Haven't had any troubles
(except lack of fouled plugs and more money in the wallet). I do like to keep 20% or
better in 100LL in the takeoff tank... especially in the summer. Probably not
necessary, but the extra detonation margin makes me feel a bit better.
