Are you using Mogas in your 912S? I thought the 912S required premimum unleaded?
I would love to fill up at the pump instead of using gas jugs.

Theoretically, perhaps. I think the greater factors to
long life have to do with running MOGAS instead of AVGAS, changing the oil every
50 hours instead of every 100, keeping the carbs tuned, keeping the fliters and
plugs clean etc.
Maybe someone who has worn out a few Rotax 912 might have more authoritative
opinion.

Premium unleaded is still Mogas, not Avgas.

It will burn either MOGAS (automobile unleaded gasoline) or AVGAS (low lead aircraft
fuel) but you have to change the oil every 25 to 30 hours and clean the
lead from the spark plugs about as often. Appearantly, AVGAS gives the rotax the
engine the equivilent of clogged arteries over time. :(
Most my flights are less than 4 hours round trip, so I manage to run MOGAS most
of the time. On longer trips, I have no choice but to run AVGAS. It's not a big
deal to run AVGAS once in a while ... just have to change the oil more often.
If you do run AVGAS, you're supposed to use a particular oil. There's a good article here if you haven't seen it: http://www.rotaxservice.com/rotax_tips/rotax_feed4.htm
