I hope 94UL comes my way. I look forward to ending the days of cleaning lead off my spark plugs hiring someone licensed to clean lead off my spark plugs.

Careful what you wish for:


If you knowingly walk in to sodomy of your wallet is it an ass-raping at the pump?

Almost time to pull a Diemert style “world class restoration”.

Maybe find a cheap 1976 VW rabbit with a rebuilt diesel engine, sneak it into a cub clone and run it off used oil from the local chippy.

Probably want to get some sort of a gear drive so you don’t harm the main bearings.

Oof. My fault for assuming the price would be closer to premium mogas, I guess.

I did a cost benefit of buying a transfer tank and pump and throwing it my truck.

Eventually did it a few months ago. Just filled 100gallons @ 3.89/gal vs $4.50 the airport over yonder.

I did some fuzzy math, and if I recall I need to fly 80 hours to break even. Everything after is $$$ savings.

From an engineering standpoint 94UL ought to significantly cheaper than 100LL because it has no nasty lead.

I thought it was 100LL before the lead was sdded. I don’t jniw why it costs more to get less.
