Fuel Grade

[Jeff Orear]

Hello Coupers:   Have been enjoying flying the coupe.  Now that we have all the fuel leaks fixed, and the Carbheat works, I'm a happy couper.   I would like to start taking some cross countries, and I have noted that the airports in the area where I would like to go ( read that my sister's) do not have 80 octane fuel available.  What is the group's opinion on burning 100LL once in a blue moon in a C85?  I would probably be adding about half of the total fuel capacity to fuel up at my destination for the flight home.  Then I would be able to go back to the 80.  Is there anything that I should be aware of in burning 100LL?  How about going to Mogas?  Enlighten me, Oh Couper-gurus!   Just wanted to add that I had a ball flying some Young Eagles last weekend.  What a great plane to let kids "fly".  I am also happy to report that I am starting to get comfortable with landing sideways in a crosswind!     Regards, Jeff Orear N93966
