I think buying avgas is a matter of who u get it from, some hangers will sell it, some will not. If your lucky enough u will find one that will sell it.

Mick, i can agree with your statement about avgas not fouling plugs and ruining o2 sensors on fuel injected engines. The engines we've built at liberty and run avgas with carbies havent had any trouble either.

We have used o2 sensors on the dyno with avgas many times and are still working fine.

I think it would almost be the opposite, dirty old 2 strokes using premix fuel run a dam site better on leaded fuel then they do on unleaded. Thats what they were using in the US not so long ago, dont know about now. The oil in the premix fuel making it more likely to foul a plug.

Im not to sure on the scientifics but i know leaded fuel can have a tendency to leave behind a spec of lead(or somthing) on the spark plug electrode which will stop it from sparking. learnt this from using avgas in a lawnmower. The fuel was pretty dam grotty to, probly full of crap.

Oh btw, avgas doesnt mix with oil very well, looks like it but no matter how hard u shake it, it will not mix PROPERLY.
