Soumis
 
The FAA says engine cell testing of one of three contenders actively being considered as a replacement for 100LL avgas will begin later this year at the agency’s William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City. In a statement to AVweb, the agency said the fuel developed by a partnership between LyondellBasell Industries and VP Racing will also undergo flight testing as part of the approval process through the Piston Aviation Fuels Initiative.

You better stock up on some.. Maybe you can talk to Glade and see if they can make you a 100LL Glade Plug-In so you can continue to enjoy it! :)

Lots of people like the smell of Avgas. But to me I loves me the smell of JetA in the morning...

2 STC's already available... GAMI and SWIFT. Not sure which is going to be the best, but you will have to start with 1 and stick with it... Does not seem to be able (atleast at this point) to mix the different fuels.

That's not quite correct. One of the requirements of the unleaded fuel initiative is complete forward- and backward- compatibility - that means they must be able to mix easily even with 100LL.
