+x+xThank you, that is indeed a helpful list. One of the main problems is that hundreds of airfields in our existing data are categorised as having "AvGas" without any differentiation of what kind, so that's the sort of problem that needs thought to properly solve. My guess: AvGas will most probably be 100LL, as these entries from the AIP originate from times with only AvGas 100LL and MoGas (Ethanol-free Autofuel). The UL crowd and the Ethanol Autofuel are newer and many times put under MoGas. Strictly speaking, UL91 is classified as Avgas, but to a different specification. There are other unusual Avgas formulations available in places like Russia, I believe.
Also, at one time MOGAS was a specific product, with the specification of a road fuel (I don’t know which one) but produced to higher conformity and batch controlled. Nowadays, it has become a more generic term meaning anything bought from a roadside service station.

+xThanks, we'll add the fuel pump location.
Fuel types are a bit of a minefield and adding/removing them isn't currently something we have time to properly investigate. There are so many subtle differences and aircraft which can accept more than one, so it deserves more thought. I agree, fuel has become a tricky question, but not many variations on the market: * AvGas 100LL (most aircraft) * AvGas UL94 (many aircraft) * AvGas UL91 (specific aircraft, Lycosaurus) * MoGas / Autofuel 98-102 no Ethanol (Autofuel STCs crowd) * Super Plus 98 / Super 95 (almost Rotax only)

+x'Does Super Plus' @EDRA refer to Autofuel 98 sans Ethanol, thus Mogas according to EN as in the usual STCs?Add to the Skydemon wishlist: distinguish between 98 sans Ethanol and 95 and/or Ethanol used in microlights. I found the statement 'Mogas' insufficient, i.e. EDCA on my way to Poland had 'Mogas', but it turned out to be unusable 95 with Ethanol. Super Plus 98 with Ethanol, suitable for Rotax Engines. Not Mogas.

+xThanks! To be clear, you're saying that we are missing the location of the pumps on our vector chart? Yep + under Admin information the "Super Plus" at our pumps are missing

+x+xHi Tim, at Bad Neuenahr Airfield EDRA there's AVGAS & Super Plus unleaded availabe. Filling station at the "T". You can make this info available to all SkyDemon users by using the 'Share Information' feature on the Airfield Information panel. You can enter current prices for any fuel type. Very well, but I thought it would be "cleaner" to amend the SD map/chart.
Listed fuel prices are rather useless in my opinion. One never knows when (if ever) they had been updated.
