its not going to happen no where near that fast..... and when it does they will have a 100 octane unleaded aviation fuel substitute. There are thousands and thousands of certified aircraft that require 100 octane fuel. They still make them new today. The government cannot and will not abandon them.


Right... next thing you know, they will make leaded automobile fuel illegal! Oh wait...
And yes, as I said there are two companies with a substitute waiting for EPA approval. Once approved, 100LL will be treated as poison, and in 2018 mandated.
did not say it wasn't going to happen, just nowhere near as fast as you think it will. As a pilot I have been following this for years. You're talking about the government they don't do anything fast! The replacement will still be 100 octane. It would just be unleaded. That would make it even better for people that use it in their street cars.....
