It's one of the factors that's keeping me on the sidelines right now... Don't want to make a purchase and then get stuck needing a $20k STC to change fuel blends.
I just finished reading a detalied AOPA report that explained where we are now and what is coming. Bottom line, is it will be MANY years (at least 20+ years) before 100LL goes away, if that soon. While aftermarket companies are investigating electronics to compensate for the loss of lead, they havent found an alternative as of yet for the fuel.
