I purchased AV gas at Laconia Airport for my boat today, 100 octane, no lead, no ethanol. Ethanol is not good for my engine and you know the problems with hoses and internal engine parts especially on antique engines. Maybe as a side effect I notice that there is extremely little exhaust odor if at all.
Appears most marinas have low octane regular gas. I did purchase some gas at Channel Marine but will not do again due to the docking difficulties. Spoke to a local gentleman today who told me he had the same problem I had at Channel when he had a boat.

I am a retired workaholic and continuing aquaholic.
