I'm moving to Florida in a little over a month from Colorado. I'm wondering if there are a lot of E85 stations down there or not. Here I would say one out of ever four or five has E85.

 

Ha good luck finding any. Theres none here around downtown that I know of

 

The only one i know of is off the turnpike......

 

Looks like I will just have to stick with pump gas + meth

 

I haven't seen one yet, I live about an hour north of Tampa.

 

If you do a search on google they have websites that tell you where all the local E85 stations are and if they are Public or private. Last I looked there were only 6 in all of FL, with only 1 being public and it wasn't anywhere near central florida

 

turnpike at turkey lake plaza
im going to try LL 100 av gas

 

100LL avgas has 8 times the lead that old school 87 avgas. The LL was a title they gave it to give people the warm and fuzzy. They are working on getting unleaded avgas, but to no avail so far. Most engines can run on 93 unlead but no engine manufacturers want to risk the lawsuits.

Summary: Avgas will destroy your oxygen sensors....

 

thats good to know but should have disclaimered that using it on small engines and my 1968 OHC-6 with 11.75:1 compression
BTW checked on 110..... about $8 gal

 

Oh, then by all means use avgas. www.airnav.com and you can check local airport fuel prices.

Sheltair at Orl Ex is 6.28
Avion at Orl Sanford is 5.31
Airpark at Massey (Edgewater) is 4.09 (and easily accessible)

Prices vary widely!

 

Humm
my neighbor has a lease plane at Sanford and told me $3.50
But that was over a week ago

 

Flight schools negotiate prices because of large quantities. By all means if you can get in on that deal, but as a person walking up, no.

When I started flying I think it was $1.50 lol!
