Gas Stations being shut down because they are selling AVIATION GAS!!! Too bad I did not know which station were selling it... I would have loaded up! Especially at $3.60 a Gallon. <-- High Test. Maybe it was in the REGULAR Pumps at $3.26 a Gallon??? But, the questions have to be asked: 1 - If there is so much control over AvGas <--- So they say as to keep prices high. Where was the control on the delivery? 2 - Was AvGAs put into uncontrolled MoGas delivery vehicles? 3 - Was MoGas put into uncontrolled AvGas delivery vehicles? 4 - Have the Controlled Delivery Vehicles now been contaminated with MoGas? 5 - OMG ! ! ! ... What will our Ever Vigilant EPA do now that LEAD is being burned by surface vehicles? And... 6 - Who picks up the $TAB$ on the destroyed Catalytic Converters. <--- NJ in all their wisdom has done away with automobile inspection. Except for EMISSIONS TESTING. So, if your car fails and you don't even know you had a load of AvGas who pays for the repairs??? AND even if you do know... WHO PAYS! No coffee as yet so these are the only questions I can come up with at this time. Maybe you have a few to ask?

The fuel was delivered by eight tankers between Dec. 5 and Dec. 7 to six gas stations owned by the same company. In a statement from the Division of Consumer Affairs, the fuel was not directly identified as 100LL. The agency said the fuel was "rated at 104.7 octane compared to 93 octane for super unleaded," and contained "a small amount of lead." It was mistakenly sold to motorists as super unleaded. According to the agency, it "should not cause damage to vehicles engines." Click through for a link to the release from Consumer Affairs and a list of affected stations. This is from the AV WEB site: http://www.avweb.com/cgi-bin/texis/scripts/avweb-search/search.html?query=aviation+gas&x=43&y=11 They think it will not affect the engine... The engine NO! But the Catalytic Converter and maybe the O2 Sensor and the MAP Sensor?
