The only way to guarantee that 91 AKI unleaded gasoline will be available in the future is to pass a state law prohibiting the blending of ethanol in premium unleaded. Montana did it in their mandatory E10 law, which unfortunately never triggered and now probably never will.
so its all or nothing, eh? Well, i can tell you how long you will have to wait for that.
A LONG TIME.
I'll say it again- there are several categories of legislature law where very stupid laws have been passed. they don't really do anything. but the people pushing for a specific goal like them, they continue to "discuss" things with the legislature critters, every year. eventually they start getting laws passed that have significant progress to their goals.
look up anything with the HSUS and animal "welfare/ rights" laws, gun laws, child protection laws, most any anti freedom agenda. they all want a radical goal, and are happy to get anything passed they can, even if it in essence does nothing this year. it gets them "relationships" with congress critters, they get to keep chipping away, eventually they get some of their goals knocked off.
do we build planes a wing in a day? no, its a little part here, a little part there, a row of rivets tonight, some primer tomorrow, shaping parts yesterday. Like Wally says, walk 2-4 miles a day, give it a couple years and you'll have walked across the United States and back.
we probably need paid lobbyist. I know the recreational gold mining "industry" in norcal has a very good one, and they are fighting harder laws than we are.
there should also be an Oregon pilots association, to fight for things like this and anything else specific to oregon and aviation.
I'll get right on an OPA, in my abundant spare time
