Hi! Jerry
I think the figures I quoted are to do with the regulation side of things ,
but regs or not it is an unpleasant experienceand to be avoided if possible
,especially at low altitude!!!
I can vouch for the cheaper fuel in Sweden ,about 1/3rd the price in the
UK. FYI they also have a weekly ticket system for foreign private flyers
about 23 gets you as many landings and overnights as you can get in !
I guess we can dream that it would ever be the same here! If it ever did you
could bet the
bloody chancellor would soon cock it up!
Best regards

As a long time user of unleaded 95 in aircraft I have to say that I have
flown well above 5000' in ground temperatures far above 20 deg C. I avoid
SUPER unleaded like the plague as I believe it has more volatiles and will
be more prone to vaporisation. In France SUPER unleaded is the norm and
indeed at the BLOIS microlight rally for example there was a guy there
flogging it by the can full. AVGAS is far less prone to vaporisation but its
high lead content is enough to put me off. In Sweden ( I think but maybe
Norway ) I have been told they have proper unleaded Avgas which is also
relatively inexpensive. Lets hope we get it here as it would solve the
vapour problem and the lead clogging problem.
