Two FAA-approved unleaded avgas options exist for most piston aircraft, but pump availability remains uneven as the industry works toward a 2030 transition deadline.
The certified replacement for 100LL avgas exists - GAMI's G100UL STC was approved in 2022 - but distribution and adoption lag behind the regulatory and supply pressures closing in.
Swift Fuels' 100R unleaded avgas now covers 1,200 engine types and 1,600 airframes, marking a significant milestone in general aviation's transition away from leaded fuel.
The FAA's EAGLE initiative targets a complete unleaded avgas transition by 2030, with two approved fuels available but airport distribution still lagging.
