There are some maps out there that mapped the info from Airnav or other
websites, of airports that have mogas on field:

The problem is in the western half of the country there are almost no
airports with mogas on the field. None in Oregon, only one in Washington
(Arlington), mogas was available at Modesto a couple years ago, and now
even that is gone. The few that show on the above map are seaplane
bases. When I make long trips I have to go through a lot of planning in
advance, searching out EAA chapters on the web, contacting local EAA
people at my planned stops, to help me get mogas. So I started the
"Mogas Assistance Network", a map of people around the country who fly
with mogas, who would have the cans or other facilities to transport
moderate quantities of mogas from nearby gas stations to the airport.

This is a frappr map that people can add themselves to.

But since frappr is kind of crapper and difficult to use, I transfer the
info to a google map:

We still don't have enough people to help, so everyone who can, please
sign up! If add yourself to the map, also shoot me an email
pjmick@verizon.net to let me know.

A problem for certificated aircraft flyers now is that most mogas now
contains 10% ethanol. In Oregon it was previously only in the winter in
metro areas, but now it's the whole state year round. Mogas STC flyers
cannot use mogas with ethanol. On my experimental with automotive engine
this is not a problem.
Probably about 1/3 of the approx. 6000 gallons of mogas that has been
burned in my aircraft has contained 10% ethanol, with no ill effects.

Hi Perry, how much higher is your fuel burn with the E 10%

-dave

It's  probably higher, I don't take detailed enough data to tell the
difference.
The only time I take fuel burn data is on long cross countries like
Oregon to Kansas.
