avgas unleaded is available it's a much cleaner fuel by law (NTSB)
but you gotta pay $2.35cpl as of last month

What type of avgas?

Avgas ranges in octane from 82 to like 130 octane?

Many planes actually get converted to run standard unleaded, as in car unleaded as many are designed to run around 87 octane avgas. As I said it varies in octane levels depending on the plane engine type etc.

i use 91 but i might have try premium ans see if it does indeed give a power increase and/or better economy.

here in NZ theysupply crap quality petrol :bang:

I run Avgas in the '83' V8 cause it loves the lead (it doesn't have hardened valve inserts etc) and its 100 octane but i wouldn't run it in VN series onwards.... the lead will kill your o2 sensors and cats and if they catch ya with leaded petrol here it's like a $600 fine

i normally use bp ultimate wen i can afford it, its reasonable priced on tuesdays normally, the old girl loves it, she runs like a dream on it and better economy depending on driving style, also more power :yeah:
