There are a lot of ULPower EAB planes out there: RVs, Zeniths, etc.
They must have made the right decisions so they can use the cheap
("bad") auto fuel. Are they all playing Russian roulette with their
lives when they fly? Also, none of my cars have ever had a problem
with E10-87 since they outlawed MTBE and went with ethanol as the
octane booster. (I don't buy E10-91 since my cars' engines were
designed for regular unleaded with ethanol.)

Don't take all the posts that identify possible problems with "auto"
fuel to mean you should *never *consider using it. Rather take them as a
heads up on possible issues and make sure you have accounted for all the
possible problems of it's use given the aircraft you intend to use it
in. Consider handling, storage, comparability with entire fuel system
from tanks, fuel lines, fuel system components, different sources with
different additives, the engine you're using, etc., etc.,.
If you can comfortably cover all the issues, the savings could be
substantial. With a well designed system, the ongoing quality and
consistency of the fuel would be the major concern.
Good luck and happy (cheap) flying............
