You can run ethanol-laden mogas on lycos and contis too, the obstacles are not science based, it's all FAA red tape. The concern about ethanol eating away at materials just shows the GA fleet needs to get with the program. That is why I can't wait to go experimental, where none of the old wives tales of ethanol-blended mogas matter one iota. Then I can legally haul the stuff from the pump down the street to my airplane with automotive parts from the alternator on down to the brake lines and the fuel lines. Just don't fuel your airplane up and not fly it for 6 months. Your car wouldn't start either under the same circumstances...Screw 100LL.

I know I know, 10% of the GA market drives the demand for the other 90%, because that 10% of the fleet burns 90% of the gas. To that I say, let them have at it and release the rest of the fleet from the grips of 100LL by offering street mogas at the airport. Problem solved.

These spam cans are all going to the scrap yards when the boomers start losing their medicals en masse anyways. The economics of 8GPH per 100 knots and $20,000 1930s rebuilt tractor engines is economically outmoded for the current times.
