Go to the local general aviation airport and get some 100LL Avgas. Should be somewhere around $5 a gallon. We sell a lot for snowblowers and a local antique car museum. Doesn't work well in Honda 4 stokers. Remains stable for years.

NOPE, Not gonna happen in PA..

Local airports near me ALL require LEGIT FAA TAIL NUMBERS BEFORE THEY WILL SELL AV GAS.

Wow, a state MORE restrictive than Mass. Some airports have stopped selling Avgas quoting a non-existing FAA rule, but it's really just liability worries. There's even one airpark here where you can pull up to the pump and fill your car.

Yeah, you are not gonna just "pull up" with a auto at least with my local small town airports and help yourself to AV gas.. Those pumps are typically INSIDE a fenced off area away from general public access.

AV gas and Racing gas in PA is sold WITHOUT PA STATE ROAD TAXES, the act of filling your vehicle up with it IS tax evasion.

Do they (PA dept of revenue) require AV gas and racing gas to be dyed like the off road diesel?

I have seen PA revenue inspectors come on construction sites, and sample diesel from everyone's on road diesel trucks. I had one guy refuse them, asked where their search warrant was. They called in the state troopers and took their sample. You don't want to piss with those revenue fellows lol. Supposedly that red dye can be detected long after the off road diesel was used somehow. The guy who fought back had run off road in his pickup so they showed up at his shop a few weeks later with a list of all his registered trucks and sampled all of them even if it meant traveling to other locations where his workers were for the day. He is probably still paying off the $35K in fines and taxes he was handed.
