Can avgas be safely used in the rx-7? I heard the airport here sells 100 low lead for less than $2/gallon. I want to use it instead of the $4/gallon sunoco 100.

Trick with them is you will be hard pressed to find one that will let you

pump it into the car, you have to bring gas cans.

There is a little airport here, Republican Airport, they will sell you the gas

after you pay the guy, then stand outside the fence while they fill your gas cans.

lol, there is nothing illegal about putting gas into cans, its pumping it right into the car where the problem lies.

what you need is a dummy gas can in the trunk that just goes into the gas tank, so you just put gas into the can in the trunk

By law gas cans have to be on the ground, some **** about static electricity.

When you go to the gas station you will see there should be a little sign saying to put gas cans on the floor before dispensing fuel into them.

The little airport over here wont even let a car or a person NEAR the pump

or the gas truck.
