+1 for my Piper Pacer (autofuel STC) and my Minimax (Rotax 2-stroke). I have a local farm fuel service deliver NON ethanol containing car gas to me on a regular basis. It typically costs 25 cents a gallon or so more than the going price at the gas station, but it is convenient and it is much cheaper than filling up at the local airport. I have put around 500 hrs on my Pacer since I have owned it and compression at every annual has remained in the high 70's.
The plane I am building will have a Lycoming io-360 (200hp) on it and due to the higher compression, I will have to start buying AV gas again.....not looking forward to that. I nearly go into shock everytime I go on a long trip and have to fill up at an airport.
