Aviation gas can burn holes in pistons since it's designed for steady running not speeding up and down as well as the tax evasion risk you run since there are no road taxes paid on it.

Sheeshhhhhh tax evasion

I just filled up at Sunoco today. My lastest average gas mileage was 10.6 MPG... not sure if it is a placebo affect but I think I can already feel a difference in my truck after filling up at Sunoco.
