Re: [ercoupe-tech] Syn. fuel for General AviationI work at a company with headquarters in Sweden. Recently a Swedish person from HQ was transferred to our operation in Texas . I introduced him as "the only person in the whole US who is happy with the price of gas!!" Eliacim

I am backing off the throttle at 1,000 feet, leaning as soon as I can and cruising at 2,200. Anyone know how to fit a Rotax to an Ercoupe?

It sounds too good to be true, so it probably is; and 2. By the time it is available at the gas punmp, it will cost just as much if not more than the regular gasoline. I wonder how many tons of "biomass" it takes to make a gallon of fuel?
