    Lake Wales airport avgas

    I know there are a few Polk county bass boat owners that use the air port avgas 100ll. Someone cut the lock on the gate in an attempt to steal gas so now in order to get gas you must call the # on the gate and wait for the grounds keeper to escort you to and from the gas pumps. Bartow air port still has 24 hour self service and is $3.55 per gal. Lake Wales is $3.84.

    I have a Merc 300x that requires minimum 93. I do not trust any of the local stations to have fresh 93. The airport gas goes thru several purity tests before it is sold.

    Long time motorcrosser/woods racer here and use to burn av gas only in race bikes and mod jet skis because it is a cleaner more consistent fuel. It’s a lot cheaper than VP race fuel and just as good or better in my book.
