I'd airport-hop probably which would slow it down but it'd be a neat trip....

Here's why: Just this week, I received the following information from the chief Rotax mechanic at Lockwood Aviation: Rotax (the company) has concluded that E-10 gas has no ill effects on the 912-series engines. This finding comes after several years of collecting and analyzing field data on the 912 fleet. As long as your fuel tanks and fuel lines are compatible with E-10, the engine itself will do fine. He told me that they (Rotax) even did tests with up to 25 percent ethanol, with no problems to the 912. Rotax currently specifies in their manuals that 5 percent is the max allowable ethanol content in gas for the 912. They will imminently be releasing an updated Service Bulletin announcing that 10 percent is okay. I'll be watching for it. I did not ask about E-10 in the two-stroke engines. Arty - I'm not trying to dampen Dean Billings' efforts or your enthusiasm to help the cause, but this new information seems relevant to this topic thread.

Have had no problem, as far as I know. We have flown it at MV, 5200 MSL, Rock House, OR, 4,000 MSL, Gantt IAP, 450 MSL, and can not detect any difference in performance between the 10 %, straight gas, or 100LL. john h mkIII Arty, and Fellow Kolbers - Rotax currently specifies in their manuals that 5 percent is the max allowable ethanol content in gas for the 912.
