Wow, this would be a big help for me!!!!!

Check at the local General Aviation airport and see if they'll fill your 
cans. The old time high performance car guys like to do this as well. Like I 
said, I've used it in some equipment full time no problem (YMMV) but there 
is no need on newer equipment that's designed for ethanol if it's used 
regularly. Avgas  is 100 octane and has a ton of lead in it (environmentally 
unfriendly) but I've not experienced any plug fouling or anything. I 
remember back when there was 130 octane Avgas! Wow. Around our Bellingham WA 
area we still get straight Mogas without ethanol. Nice but I fear we're all 
doomed eventually.
