I can tell no difference between running 100LL and Mogas.

I could tell a big difference with my 182. Back then my cost to fill up
was about 50% of the prevailing avgas price and that was a very noticeable
difference! :-)


Besides the plane being heavier (more money in the wallet g) could you
tell if the mixture was different, if you ever ran one tank mogas and one
with 100LL?


Never tried that. We typically ran something close to a 50/50
mogas/100LL mix most of the time. We always filled with mogas at the
home drome, but we filled with 100LL at other airports. Since both my
partner and me flew mostly cross country flights, nearly every other
top-off was with 100LL.

The airplane flew great on this mixture up to as high as 13,000 feet.
Never had a hiccup of any sort related to fuel.
