Hi Finn,

Yes, there are some attractive set ups. Wouldn't take too long at a $1.00+ gallon difference to pay for it. Will have to take another look. I understand that you can cart up to 50 gallons here in NC without special tags or permits.

Even though I never had your expericence (too humid in Florida, I guess), a well-grounded steel 50 gallon drum in your van with a well-grounded transfer pump/hose set-up from Northern Tools or similar might be the way to go.

And don't forget the savings in spark plugs :)

Of course how much you actually fly would decide if it's worthwhile.

Even so, John. Avgas seems to always run at least $1.00 more costly than Mogas. But, safety (had a fire once pouring Mogas) is the primary reason I've used 100LL for the last 5 years. But, with Avgas prices pushing $4.00 (and more), its becoming more attractive {:>)_

Ed; Don't run out and spend a fortune on equipment to haul fuel from the gas station. Here in Michigan, gasoline was down to $2.05, but is up to $2.43 today. Sure wish I were in one of those areas where the price is falling. JohnD

Could add one of those nasty political comments, but I won't
