Hi Leslie: I use Mo-Gas almost exclusively with excellent results. I have maybe 250-300 hours of auto fuel experience on my Coupe so far. I have a supply of alcohol test kits from Sportys. I test each and every load of gas I buy without exception. I always use Texaco which in Washington State has no alcohol. I use plastic 5 gallon containers which I place on the ground to fill then tie down in the back of my pickup truck. If plastic containers are filled in the bed of the pickup, ignition is possible due to static build up. Also available from Sportys is a large funnel with a water and dirt trap. A possibly better setup would be a funnel with a genuine chamois skin placed across the opening as a filter. This will trap all water and dirt. I used such a setup the three years I flew my Champ in Spain, but haven't found a satisfactory funnel here. The disavantage to the funnel is that it is difficult to tell when the tanks are getting full and it is easy to spill gas. I fly pretty frequently, so stale gas isn't a problem. Since the Reid vapor pressure of Mo-Gas is more conducive to carb ice, you must be more vigilant. I have not found this to be a problem here in the Northwest. But then I am habitually looking for ice to form<G> My engine runs like a clock, I don't have to play games to get a good mag check like many must do with 100 LL. My plugs are always in good shape at annual. In short, I am convinced that the advantages of auto fuel out weigh the disadvantages. This is my experience and opinion. Yes the fueling is a bother, but on the other hand when I come in on a Sunday and there is a 30 minute wait to get fuel at the FBO---which is the worse bother???? <G> Oh I almost forgot. Right now there is at least a buck a gallon difference in price.
