My understanding is that Lycoming supports an unleaded 100 octane solution, of which G100UL is one possibility.Adam Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524937335927976607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429311486394377221.post-60128577441637842652010-09-19T23:35:59.422-04:002010-09-19T23:35:59.422-04:00Adam,
Not sure where your information is coming f...Adam,<br /><br />Not sure where your information is coming from. Let me add some first hand information, please.<br /><br />1) Lycoming has made no public comment about G100UL other than to acknowledge that we are working on it.<br /><br />2) As to pricing, there is no mystery. Until you know the cost of something, it is fairly foolish to publicly assert what it is going to sell for. From what we do know about the components in the G100UL fuel, there really should not be any huge premium to existing 100LL, when it is made in volumes similar to 100LL. But we do not know that for sure yet. We have a request for price quotes out into the market for pricing on 100,000 gallons. When that price quote comes back, we will have a better idea of what it might cost in quantities of 100 or 1000 times that volume. <br /><br />Regards, George BralyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756106117320167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429311486394377221.post-3557417742208197052010-07-02T18:54:30.965-04:002010-07-02T18:54:30.965-04:00This week AvWeb had a couple of interesting podcas...This week AvWeb had a couple of interesting podcasts on the two leading contenders to produce a 100 octane unleaded fuel.<br /><br />In both cases the "cageyness" of the individuals interviewed, not to mention their vagueness for this late stage in the game, gives me cause for concern.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.avweb.com/podcast/podcast/DavidPerme_SwiftFuel_100SF_NaturalGas_202812-1.html?kw=AVwebAudio" rel="nofollow">Swift Fuel Update: Make the Stuff From Natural Gas</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.avweb.com/podcast/podcast/GeorgeBraly_GAMI_G100UL_202813-1.html?kw=AVwebAudio" rel="nofollow">GAMI'S G100UL: Also Competitive with Avgas</a>Adam Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524937335927976607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429311486394377221.post-16381284013030640092010-06-21T08:23:38.759-04:002010-06-21T08:23:38.759-04:00It is interesting to see what kind of thinking is ...It is interesting to see what kind of thinking is going on around this problem, as expressed in <a href="http://www.avweb.com/blogs/insider/AvWebInsider_DumbEngineCompanies_202741-1.html" rel="nofollow">Fuel Crisis: What We Really Need ...</a>.
