The price of fuel continues to increase at a rapid rate. We continue to
   do our best to keep our prices at Santa Paula as low as possible. We
   will be receiving a new load of 100LL on Thursday. With this load will
   come an increase in price. Our current price is $4.559. Unless things
   change, we expect the price to hit $4.759 Thursday.

   I am sorry. Fill up before Thursday.

   Of course those of us flying rotaries are not directly affected by the
   price of 100 LL unless we cannot find auto gas at the airport.

   Perry Mick was working on a nation wide map or web site of airports
   that offer auto gas.
   For old airplanes capable of burning auto gas that should be OK.
   For those of us with 10:1 compression ratio newer AC engines that is
   probably
   not possible.

   What is the status of this auto gas map or web site Perry?

   Perhaps SZP could make an old pickup truck equipped with a 100 gallon
   tank available for loan or modest rent to pilots needing auto gas.

   Airnav will find mogas with the price. I use it all the time.

I am building my Cougar to have 2 removable tanks that sit behind the
pilot passenger. 5 gallons each from JEGS. There will be a transfer pump
that will transfer this fuel to the main or header tank 18 gallons that
sits behind the panel. I have one other tank 3 gallon that is behind the
baggage compt. This tank is the emergency tank. A pump will pump direct to
engine. Now when I need fuel I just take out the tanks and take them to
town to fill. If I need more I have to do it twice, but any fuel left in
the removable tanks will get transfered before removing. So the main
tank will stay rather full.
