?Any mogas stops between Durango Co/Austin NV

I am planning on leaving Durango Co. Thurs. or Fri. for Austin Nv. and am wondering if there are any places w/in 50 mi of my route that I could stop and top off with mogas. I am aware of Halls Crosing (Cal Black) wich is only an hr out for me,and Delle Ut. which is about 100 mi. off course.

Thanks Gary

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Hey Gary, I think Joe Sr can get auto gas for you at Austin. He has a fuel tank with pump in the back of his pickup. PM him to make sure or I'll call him now.

See you there! Pat

Are we talking ethonal "enhanced" mo-gas, or straight gas? Or do you use either?

My Rotax will drink either one. There is supposed to be an announcement by Rotax that up to 15% ethanol is permitted. They are also about to raise the TBO from 1500hr to 2000hr.

Either Chevron or Shell, the only two choices here, and I always buy the 91 octane for my 180hp Cub. I don't have a clue about alcohol content, doesn't say anything on the pump, but I suspect it probably does..
