I believe that if the oil companies think they have any chance of winning they will contest it regardless of the economic pay back.  The historically view any such attempt as the first foot in the door to worst (from their perspective) attempts.  Besides, the oil companies have all of these lawyers that need to show they are worth their pay {:>) - no offense intended, Chris.

Ernest,
 
Good question (I was wondering that myself).  I guess we'll have to wait and see if the oil companies just roll over, or if they'll stand up and fight.

Bill,
 You could be right on that.  It surely won't hurt to put a little pressure on the FAA to find/approve an alternative aviation fuel.  Personally, I would be happy if they would make premium auto fuel ethanol free.  On another note, with the time it takes for things to work their way through the court system, it will be years before this gets resolved.  The oil companies can afford to hire the best attorneys.
 
Sure, but would they?  Will they pay for the attorneys knowing that 100LL is such low volume and is going to have to go away eventually anyhow?
