    I have recently stumbled across your channel and watched your 3 newest videos back to back to back. I’m planning on becoming a pilot myself or at least getting some hours in as it seems really fun. Your channel led me to fall in love with all this aviation madness.

      @@colinfitzgerald4332 MOGAS is definitely the way to go for the reasons you mentioned. It's not as stable as AVGAS though so will tend to stratify if left sitting for extended periods but agitation cam restore it. Unfortunately, here in Canada all MOGAS now has ethanol as part of the eco radical agenda, it's enforced under something called the Clean Fuel Standard and will be inflicted upon the US populace if the democrats stay in power.
