However, not just any petrol can be used in aviation. It must <em>ethanol-free<\/em> and meet the requirements of engine manufacturers and EASA operating licences. The advantages of MOGAS over Avgas 100LL are obvious:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cost savings<\/strong>MOGAS is on average 30-50% cheaper than Avgas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More environmentally friendly<\/strong>MOGAS does not contain tetraethyl lead, which is used in avgas to increase the octane rating and is harmful to both people and the environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technical advantages<\/strong>Some modern engines - especially Rotax, ULPower or newer Lycoming models - are specially designed for operation with MOGAS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, MOGAS is not available everywhere - and this is precisely where the annually updated directory comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The new MOGAS Map 2025: overview and benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new <strong>MOGAS Map 2025<\/strong> provides a detailed overview of all known aerodromes in Germany that offer an official supply of MOGAS or ethanol-free automotive fuel. The map shows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name and ICAO code of the aerodrome<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Availability of MOGAS or automotive fuel<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Information on refuelling options (e.g. fuel card required, self-fuelling, refuelling only with advance notice, etc.)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contact details or further links<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This card is a particularly valuable tool for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Private pilots<\/strong> with MOGAS-capable aircraft who want to plan cross-country flights more efficiently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flying schools<\/strong>that operate with cost-sensitive training models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clubs<\/strong>who want to optimise their operating costs and fly more sustainably<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Availability and download<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The map can be downloaded free of charge. The latest version is distributed via relevant aviation forums and Ren\u00e9 M\u00fchlmeier's website, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Important notes on use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the supply situation can change quickly, it is essential to verify the information before each flight - ideally directly at the airport by telephone or via the respective website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking to the future: lead-free avgas as a beacon of hope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the long term, the industry will want to rely on a standardised, unleaded avgas. With <strong>UL94<\/strong> (unleaded avgas with 94 octane) and the avgas already authorised in the USA. <strong>G100UL<\/strong> by General Aviation Modifications Inc. (GAMI), new fuels could revolutionise the market in a few years' time. Until then, however, MOGAS remains an important transitional solution - both economically and ecologically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source references:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/aopa.de\/2025\/05\/22\/verzeichnis-der-flugplaetze-mit-mogas-oder-autokraftstoff-in-deutschland-2025\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.fliegermagazin.de\/news\/fussball-em-2024-sorgt-fuer-zahlreiche-sperrgebiete-im-luftraum\/#:~:text=Drei%20Sicherheitsstufen%20w%C3%A4hrend%20der%20Fu%C3%9Fball%2DEM%20202&amp;text=Die%20Flugbeschr%C3%A4nkungsgebiete%20befinden%20sich%20immer,Luftraum%20vormittags%20normal%20nutzbar%20sein.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AOPA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most motorised aircraft traditionally run on the more expensive Avgas 100LL, many modern or converted piston engines can also fly on standard premium petrol - known as MOGAS in aviation jargon.<\/p>\n<p>The updated overview of German aerodromes with MOGAS supply is therefore eagerly awaited once a year.
