Default Removing Ethanol from Gas?


The way that the fuel price is going, a large percentage of U.S. GA
fleet will ground themselves in about 5 years.

It's a sad future indeed, but GA as we know it here is going away very
soon. It'll be largely replaced by ultralights/LSAs burning mogas.
The 100LL Bonanza/Mooney/Cirrus flyers will be able to hold out for a
while buying increasingly expensive 100LL, but they'll give up
eventaully, or buy a turboprop if they have the money.

The light twin fuel hogs will be the first to go.
