Dave -
I'm not a chemist and don't have a labratory to perform an analysis
to prove it, but I don't believe gasoline is THAT contaminated.
Considering the enormous numbers of autos on the roads (and they
have fuel injectors with tiny little nozzles), I haven't seen any puked on
the side of the road due to gasoline problems. I burn Amoco gasoline. Amoco
has heavily advertised the "crystal clear purity" of their 93 octane
"Ultimate" for several years and I don't think that a multi-billion dollar
business is lying and making false claims.
There was a problem with metal underground storage tanks leaking
(both at airports and auto filling stations), but they've all been replaced
with fiberglass tanks. Is 100 LL run exclusively through transmission lines
dedicated to 100 LL? Actually, one of the primary problems now with
manufacturing and transporting 100 LL is that it's lead contaminates the
system.
When you buy auto gas for your car, you're paying about 50
cents/gallon for road building and repair taxes that you shouldn't have to
pay it if it's used in an airplane, but there's no way that government is
going to let auto gas be sold for 50 cents/gallon less at airports. A good
approach would be to use that 50 cents/gallon toward drawing gasoline
intended for airports from production known and tested for purity.
