Rick, I tried Airnav last year for my trip to Seattle. The first airport at
Cedar City UT, the kid there thought they might have had mogas at one time
but had not sold any in a long time. The next airport I forgot the name now,
but all I could find was what looked like a general store across from a dirt
road, no sign of a runway or fuel truck so I moved on. Then I thought they
might have some at the Arlington, experimental haven and home of old
Glasair. No joy. On the return trip I changed my route to go through San
Diego to meet with Mike Wills and did not have access to a computer for
flight planning.  I like to keep my options open and fly a pretty flexible
flight plan. Avgas is not really so bad if you can premix it a bit with the
oil before it goes in the tank.
TVK is a bit out of the way for Sun-n-fun but if I go to Oshkosh I will sure
keep it in mind.

Arlington does have mogas, I forget the brand, but it's at the FBO at
the NE corner of the field.

Generally it is very rare and it's almost impossible to plan flights around
places where it is available.  Seems to be more readily available in farming
areas.

The trick to using Airnav is to call the places you intend to use if the "last update"
dates is more than a month old. I made it to Oshkosh and back (Clearwater, FL) on auto
gas only (except the last 50 miles, but that's another story).
