Lebanon State Airport (S30) in Oregon has premium mogas without ethanol. At least they did a month ago. The ethanol free stuff is getting harder to find but I would prefer mogas w/ethanol to 100LL.

Default MoGas

Ethanol free mogas in the south Dallas area is available at a self-service pump
at Dallas South (T13) six or seven miles south of Lancaster airport. (This is a grass field)
Also available at an Exxon station next to the high school stadium in Palmer, Tx - about 15 miles south of I20 on interstate 45.

It is NOT current, it is hopelessly out of date and useless. For example the Oregon, Washington and California listings are completely wrong. Oregon only has one airport with mogas, Lebanon State (S30) and it has 91 AKI. Washington has two airports, Pullman/Moscow (KPUW) and Oak Harbor (KOKH). I believe that they are both 91 AKI now because 87 is getting impossible to get ethanol free out here but check with them before you go. California has NO airports with mogas and in fact it is almost impossible to get ethanol free gasoline in the state, because all of the terminals except one gets sub octane blending product for ethanol blending, and they do not label their pumps.

The only listing that I know of is: http://www.chouby.com/apps/autogas.html who claims to cull his information from AirNav. Your only option is to call the airport to verify. Airports will probably be switching to premium unleaded as ethanol takes over all of the gasoline in country because of the unintended consequences of a federal RFS mandate in EISA 2007. For information as to why, see www.e0pc.com

Also be aware that airports with mogas are disappearing. In July of last year there were 132, now there are 115 according to AirNav. This does not bode well for LSA and I urge you to get active in supporting another tank and pump on public use airports for mogas now and 94UL when it is approved this year, otherwise it will never be produced.

Another happy Dallas South customer here. Good enough field, check for water when it rains, and land on the south end or you're going to have to taxi forever to get to the pumps, which are on the south end.

Winnsboro (F51) used to have mogas, not sure about it anymore. 80NM E of the DAL area.

If you don't mind transporting it to the airport, here is a link that can help.

Default 91 octane gasoline in Montana

According to Montana Law, 91 octane gasoline is exempt from the law mandating ethanol in gasoline.

Default Mogas

Anticipating the trip from the west coast to OSH this summer. Airnav.com has a feature that allows you to put in departure and arrival points and then you can ask for Mogas or 100ll or jet fuel. The airports with mogas are hard to find in the west but seem frequent in South Dakota, Michigan and Wisconsin. I called some of the listings to find out what they are actually carrying. One said 87 octane (regular). The next one I called said "super unleaded premium 94 with no ethanol. Not sure why the availability varies so much. But just seeing the listing doesn't really tell us much. So I guess we call ahead to find out what is out there.

Default What about octane booster

I asked this question on a different thread but there was no replies.... What about using over the counter octane booster with 87 mogas? What would be the draw backs? I used it in a car I had and it worked fine. Only indication it was being used was there was a reddish haze on the plugs....

Please cite the statute. If you are referring to MCA 2007, 82-15-121, that law has never triggered, and never will, so I doubt the exemption for premium unleaded is in force.

And there is no law mandating ethanol in gasoline. There is the unintended consequences of the RFS mandate in EISA 2007, but that law was intended to produce and distribute E85 and support flex-fuel vehicles. It never mentions E10 and is not a mandatory E10 law. See: www.e0pc.com
