My first question;
Does this particular 172 actually need 100 octane fuel?
If not, the only recourse for the owners is to fold, providing mogas or whatever is available where they are based or within a short distance.
If the aircraft needs 100 octane fuel, and unleaded is not yet available at the base or nearby, that might be a defense.
The last point;
Stop the nonsensical posturing and delays; get unleaded fuel distributed everywhere.
If users Actually have problems using GAMI or whatever; those owners have a basis for action;
GAMI says their fuel works; it is extensively tested; approved for aircraft; people are using it successfully.
Get on with it!
(The Lawyer culture, and “Don’t tell me what to do” culture are holding back logical progress)
