Actually, none of them had any real choice.  They were all using the IO-360
(180 or 200 or even 200++ horse power engines).  Running less than 100
octane, especially at WOT and/or LOP was simply not an option for any of
them.  It is also safer for me to run mogas because of my high pressure/high
flow fuel system. Actually it is a non-issue for you and me.  No worries
about vapor lock, water contamination, or damage to our ethanol compatible
automotive parts.

But I know we both still love the rotary after going through all the trials
and tribulations of getting it flying.
