Map of Airports with Autogas Now Online
Ethanol-Free Autogas is what most pilots want for their aircraft, but it is more and more difficult to find. Dean Billing has made find good fuel a lot easier by putting together a map showing airports in the USA that offer the good stuff. To check out the map yourself, visit: If your airport is ...
Cloudy Skies Ahead for Ethanol
This story from Kent Misegades is good news, sort of. Rules set by the central planning committees in Washington for what we can buy and burn in our engines seem to be going sideways since they can’t respond quickly enough to market forces. Somehow, I suspect that it will still be the consumer that will ...

The Blending Wall Remains Intact Despite Misguided E15 Waiver
Many of our readers may have heard that the EPA has granted an E15 waiver for 2001-2006 autos and light duty trucks, in addition to the former E15 waiver granted back in October for 2007 and newer vehicles. Theoretically this means that about 2/3 of the auto fleet in the US could pump E15 into ...
Avgas in 2011 — Logic Will Prevail
As an engineer and a pilot, I believe that logic, combined with the amazing ability of free markets to decide between winners and loser, generally prevails, and even when do-gooders, politicians and bureaucrats do their best to throw a wrench into the works. Ben Sclair entertained us last month with some predictions for the New ...
Purdue Researcher: Ethanol Has Peaked
Has the use of ethanol in the U.S. reached its saturation point? Yes, or says the conclusion of a Purdue University agricultural economics professor who has studied federal data about how ethanol is consumed and about the growth potential in the industry to meet an upcoming federal mandate for renewable fuel use. Wally Tyner says ...
Wasting Tax Dollars on Ethanol
You know that your political agenda is in trouble when the Tea Party movement agrees with MoveOn, and conservative Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) agrees with former Vice President and environmental activist Al Gore. This is the situation that the ethanol lobby now faces in Washington, with the 45 cent a gallon ethanol credit set to expire at ...
Second Thoughts on Ethanol
In the rapidly-developing debate over future aviation fuels, Mogas is gaining in popularity, as seen in the hundreds of comments on our petition to the EPA to ban the use of ethanol in Premium (91 AKI octane) gasoline. Now it seems that the EPA itself and even former Vice President Al Gore are having second ...
Ethanol: A very real danger
When ethanol first came on the scene, we started to test it in the lab. The fuels with ethanol cleaned out our fuel systems and caused a number of leaks. Most people think that when a fuel line is made of neoprene or Buna-N rubber that the name completely defines what that rubber is. What ...
