Maybe I am expecting too much, but I make the assumption that if the
prices aren't actually listed on Airnav, then they aren't isnterested
in selling it, or dont have it to begin with. I'm not to the flying
part yet with regards to Mogas, so I don't have the pressing urge to
further my research yet.
On a side note, maybe I'm just spoiled, but I've noticed that much of
my flying tends to end up in fairly large airports that have an
attended desk, crew car or rentals available on site (without
reservations), a paved road leading to the airport (smirk) and usually
end up as a result being close to an approach control or tower. Over
25% of my 400 hours is at night, and most of the places I fly to after
dark tend to be major places (i.e. guaranteed to be open and full
service at that hour).
Don't get me wrong.. I plan to start burning lots of Mogas in the near
future, I am just not sure how much of it I will be buying on my
typical cross country legs... I would be interested in seeing the
updated list.. particularly if you check out things in the SE US... not
just SC.. but on the way to FL to visit Tracy as well :P. If Destin FL
sold mogas, everything would be primo.. because I like to stop there
for lunch anyways.

Interesting. I searched for anything within
200
nm of Nashville. I got about 20 hits. Two were unpaved - one 2000',
one 2200'). Of the rest (paved), only two were under 3500'. I am
conducting my own survey, and after I've called them all, I'll update
you on prices and whether or not they actually do have Mogas. I have
flight planning software, so I sorted the list I got by state and keyed
in all the IDs and came up with a route to all of them. My software
(FliteSoft '98 version) has a feature that I can right click on any
waypoint and all the info on it is displayed. So it only takes me
minutes to figure out state by state where I want to stop along my
route. I could figure out waypoints every 120 nm or so and search for
Mogas within 100 nm from them and have a 200 nm wide corridor with all
Mogas sites displayed. A few phone calls confirm availability and
hours of operation. If you're one-legging it from HOU to SC I
guarantee you're overflying over a dozen Mogas sites.
Seems simple and reliable enough to me ... Jim S.
