Now, please excuse me if I break the wind on this fuels discussion, but how in the world are you going to keep auto gas from vapor locking going from 12,000 to FL 250 on an August day? It is not easy to that, now, even with 100LL. And if you manage to do that on, say, Chevron premium auto fuel, are you going to do the same at the next airport with fuel refined in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, to pick one example - - of many local sources of auto fuel. Are you going to pressurize your fuel tanks ? Now, can we go back to reality on the discussion of fuels for aircraft designed to operate in the flight levels? Regards, George PS. Auto fuels may work just fine for folks flying around below Pike's Peak.
