The difference between mogas and 100LL is where the real savings might be.

 

Good observation, Pat. So why doesn't all those 540 flyer pump their tanks full of 87 octane and enjoy a little more flying?  Because , they're smart enough not to turn those expensive cylinders into grenades.  The true crux of the matter is BSFC may be lower by a tiny amount, but it doesn't matter if you can't use the cheap stuff.
