Proud_texan:" He said the lead wouldn't hurt a 2-cycle and it had a shelf live far longer than ethanol based stuff even if you use an additive.
He said most small airports would gladly sell to the non-flying public.
Anyone with first hand experience with either? "

I don't have first hand expierience , but know that aviation fuel has no alchol in it , so it doesn't attract water , nor is it corrosive on rubber gaskets ( notorious probem with alcholol as an additive).
Gasoline that has any alcohol will attract water into the tank, generally through condensation, or ,frost in colder climates .
Aviation fuel is known as "pure gasoline" on the 'prepper boards'
and comes highly reccomended for 2-cycle gas engines .
Pure gas can be found according to your state at :

When you add "Pri-G" (found at hardware / Central Tractor Supply/ etc.)you extend the shelf life of the gasoline , similar to "Sta-bil".
