Hi Mark, Sounds like you're stuck taking on avgas when on an away trip with the plane. Avgas around here at the one cheap airport is $4.75, over $5 at most places. 93 car gas is about $3.10, so at those prices, your 40 MPG plane on an XC trip gets "25MPG" (relative) of car gas when paying avgas prices. Which, is still a bargain but too bad we can't get past avgas!
As to running one vs the other, I always imagined having avgas on one tank (or even a third, smaller tank) for takeoff and even landing, and autofuel in the other once out of the critical phases. _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
