As I am planning on moving back to California when I retire (SLO county) this gives me some added stress.
I specifically ordered my Maule when I had it built to have an engine that is approved for Mogas, but I believe all Mogas in California is all contaminated with alcohol so that door is closed.
It’s entirely possible that no (affordable and readily available) alternative will be available, thus effectively killing GA in the entire state.
Flying is one of my great Earthly joys and I am looking forward to doing much more of it in retirement.
News this bad, although expected, may affect where I move.
I currently live in Washington state, whose policies mirror California, so staying here will likely provide no benefit.
