Good point AG. I don't know enough about the industry to comment on that
aspect of it. My point is that the raw materials are there to make Avgas. If
there is a demand for it someone will make it and the market will balance
itself. Much of Civil Aviation runs on Avgas and a certain % does it for
"fun" or hobby. Two of my practice partners have private planes that are
simply a luxury. If it becomes too expensive they will simply bail out.
Those who fly for commercial purposes will just have to add it to the cost
of doing business.
