How much is a gallon of 100 av gas compaired to the best car gas you can get at the pump ?
Is the av gas a lot cheaper because it does not have any of the road tax stuff on it ??

Is aviation grade 100 octane LL (low lead) still available at airports?

Yes, it is still the most common fuel for piston engines, many use it successfully (and illegally) in their hot rods. Unleaded avgas is in the works to completely eliminate TEL in the near future.

Hi John,            22 Nov 2025

Thank You; haven't flown in many years. Have wondered what the situation is regarding 100 LL. My personal belief is it's a waste of time and money to try to find a replacement. Won't be too long and turbines may prove feasible as replacements for small piston aircraft or small planes will go the way of the Dodo Bird.

I hate to see it but this country and others have become more crowded as populations have increased requiring more space for housing and all the ancillary commercial development. Most small private airports I remember have been replaced by housing and/or businesses. Such is the way of progress.

Thanks John; Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Is aviation grade 100 octane LL (low lead) still available at airports? There was a small airport near my house in Southlake TX and another in North Richland Hills about 4 miles south. They both had 100 LL available while they existed. They have been redeveloped into high dollar housing. The latter is where I obtained my Single Engine license and Fort Worth Meecham is where I obtained my Multi engine.

Too old and beat up to even think about obtaining the medical certification necessary to fly as PIC (Pilot In Command). If I were able to pass the physical and the check ride, I sure wouldn't want to be the only person in the plane that knew how to fly it.

I know of two private owned public airports that have fuel. Will check with a couple friends that live on those airports. They should know what's available.

May take a few days to get a response.
