GAMI Awarded Long-Awaited STC For Unleaded 100-Octane Avgas - AVweb

As has been discussed many times over…

An alcohol-free UL93 fuel would only cover 30% of fuel sales. Take the current market, set up a second set of pumps and deliveries to sell less then 1/3 of before would result in a higher, not lower price. Double your infrastructure costs but sell 70% less volume? There’s a winning combination.

I don’t want to pay more in fuel, but splitting the market won’t make it cheaper. At least with unleaded gas we should enjoy reduced engine maintenance costs. Lead compounds foul plugs, contaminate oil, and corrode metals. Modern car engines wouldn’t perform nearly as well as they do if we were still using leaded fuel.
