This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

All the local small airports in the USA sell 100LL -- "One hundred, low lead".

Modern small plane engines can run off regular unleaded, but a lot of small planes in the air are "old" and require leaded gas.
