Are 130 and 145 Octane AvGas fuels still available in the USA?
If not what do the guys who fly the WWII heavy iron do for a substitute fuel? What about the Reno racers ?
I've looked at the "fuels available" at several airports around the country and haven't found them listed. Most list Jet A and 100 AND 100LL and that's about it. Oh yeah - some list MoGas as well.

[quote]100/130 avgas, now commonly called Avgas 100, is dyed green. It contains a maximum of 4 g of lead per US gallon (1.1 g/l). 100LL has replaced 100/130 in most places, but Avgas 100/130 is still sold in Australia and New Zealand.[dubious

100LL is on it's way out as well...apparently Lycoming is trying to lead the push to find a suitable replacement. California is on the verge of outlawing 100LL, which would be bad for GA
