There have been some developments in the industry’s quest to shift itself away from leaded fuel, i.e., 100LL avgas.
We start in California, where the political push to get the lead out is strongest and has already resulted in prohibiting 100LL at a few airports. In early February, George Braly of General Aviation Modifications, Inc. (GAMI) told online sister publication AVweb.com that his company has an agreement that should result in GAMI’s G100UL unleaded avgas being available on the West Coast by mid-year. The fuel is STC-approved for all FAA-certified spark-ignition engines.
