About the same then after adjusting for UK Imperial and US gallons unless talking aircraft fuel where the aviation world uses lbs/Kg of fuel I think for Jet A1 kero turbines not sure about gas powered bug smashers etc that may still use US Gallons.

An interesting read.

We can even buy 98 octane at one of big brand gas stations.

Another one not to far away sells leaded race gas 100+ octane.

Easiest is to go to your local airstrip and buy aviation fuel 100 octane. But I dont know if lead deposits would be an issue cause its not unleaded.
6.76 a gallon USD
Current pump price at my local airfield is about 2.52 Cad per liter which i think is about USD 6.75 a gallon
I should ship @Claviger a drum or two..

Allan: 100 octane avgas is leaded though. . something to think about with a catalytic converter.

Although after reading his posts I doubt @Claviger is concerned about his Catalytic converter.

Also aircraft are rated for MTOW (ax take off weight)and the weight of fuel is added to the weight of passengers and cargo plus zero fuel wight to get the that MTOW

I checked aviation fuel out here at
the smaller airports will not sell it to me. They told me it is illegal for them to sell it to street vehicles since it does not have road taxes added to the cost.

So let me get this straight. I can buy 7 dollar aviation gas and sell it to Clavinger for 30?
