My two cents worth I have used Mogas in all the planes I have owned since 1988 and have had no problems at all. The issue will never be settled there are two old time mechanics at my airport, both are excellent and I woud trust then in every way to work on my planes they each have over 50 years experience. Of course one says allways use autogas or you will ruin your engine the other says never use autogas it will ruin your engine. The only consistent thing I hear is don't use Mogas if you let your plane sit a long time ( a month or more) Tim
