Re: Europa-List: Re: Question for United States friends regarding E10

In 500 hours of running AvGas, I find the AvGas use in the Rotax issues min
or for us in the States:

Oil change at 25 hrs.  Which I do anyway.
Fuel additive to remember.  That's hard for us "old forgetfuls".
Clean the oil tank to remove lead at 100 hrs.

Cost?  Adds $2.50 per hour in the States, double that overseas.
A quart of lead scavenger.
No worries about fuel components.  No draining fuel or lugging cans of gas.
Airport operations fees are low in the States.
Higher overseas and in urban areas.

If you fly only 25-50 hrs. per year, it's noise level cost.  If you fly 100
s of hours, from non service airports, and must transport fuel, it can make
 a difference.

But in the overall cost of aircraft maintenance, it's not that much in my o
pinion.  But then again, we all treat our planes differently, and have to m
eet maintenance and upkeep bills for our particular home fields.

Bud,

Your prompt and insightful reply is appreciated, as always. It remains to b
e seen what, if any, pronouncements our Light Aircraft Association might ma
ke in the coming weeks as the September introduction of E10 draws near.

At my airfield there is 100LL available, but those of us with Rotax engines
 are mindful that using it all of the time will have servicing implications
.

Thanks again.

Jonathan
