The first retail sale of General Aviation Modifications' (GAMI's) G100UL unleaded high octane fuel will likely take place today (Oct. 30) at Reid-Hillview Airport in San Jose, California. The airport, operated by Santa Clara County, received 7500 gallons of the STC-approved replacement for 100LL on Monday and employees loaded it into one of two fuel trucks operated by the county. GAMI founder George Braly told AVweb the county, which banned leaded fuel sales at the airport last year, will be selling the fuel at prices comparable to other fuels available at the field and in the same range as 100LL at nearby airports but airport officials were not able to discuss the price of the fuel on Tuesday.
