Lycoming Announces Plans To Certify Engines On Mogas
Recognizing global concerns about the immediate and long-term availability of aviation grade 100LL, on Monday Lycoming Engines announced an unleaded automotive gasoline approval program for its standard compression ratio O-360 and IO-360 product lines.
Unleaded 93 AKI automotive gasoline conforming to either Euro Norm EN228 or ASTM D4814 will be the basis of this Lycoming specified fuel. Supplemental requirements within the scope of the existing standards will be stated as necessary for safe operation in aviation applications.
Approval is expected by Fall 2008. Lycoming stresses the program will be an engine approval only; aircraft certification approval must be obtained separately to permit operation with this fuel.
Lycoming piston engines power more than half of the world's general aviation fleet -- both rotary-wing and fixed-wing.

Ethanol: Is it Worth it?
A reporter from a middle-size Florida newspaper with no axe to grind ... "culled through mounds of (sometimes conflicting) news accounts and scientific reports to get the answers."
The answer to the question, "I Ethanol worth it?" is "No! Ethanol sucks!.. it sucks money, water, mileage, and common sense.
See This Link for the full story
"New studies, like one published in "Science" magazine in February, ...conclude that whatever gains are made by burning cleaner biofuels are overwhelmed by the negative effects of deforestation. It's not even close."
..."about one-fourth of U.S. corn will be used in ethanol plants this year. That drives up the price, whether you're grilling a burger, making an omelet or drinking a soda that uses corn syrup. With an estimated 3 billion people living on the equivalent of less than $2 a day, even slight increases to staples like corn can be devastating -- "
"If the United States hits its new goals of producing 36 billion gallons of ethanol by 2022, that would replace 1.5 million barrels of oil a day -- or less than 8 percent of America's daily oil consumption in 2006."
