Bill, 

Interesting to hear your 150 didn't do well on Mogas, (or did you just mean 
that the gas "stinks").  We used a lot of it in the 150 that we had.  Couldn't 
tell any difference in performance.  Used only Amoco gold (93 octane).  Some 
claim that the vapor pressure is lower with mogas and will boil/flash/vapor 
lock at high altitudes when using a pump.  

My brother owns a vari-ez and the right tank developed a leak that desolved 
about 6" of the foam in the wing.  He swears that using mogas only on 2 
occasions caused the failure.  However it's anyone's guess as to what kind of 
epoxy 
was used as he didn't build it.  My KR (project) has a lycoming O-235L2C, so 
compression ratios are too high for the car gas.  One less worry I suppose.

Just my 2 cents worth
Best Regards
