Is the use of 95 octane mogas in 9:1 high compression pistons ok for the O-200?
Jim I think you might use mogas in your high compression O-200 if I remember correctly.
Is the composition of the mogas inportant?
What we have available locally is 93 and 95, here is a typical spec sheet:

The reason I ask this, is because someone told me that using a mix of 100ll avgas and mogas might help prevent valve and spark plug issues due to lead fouling. Not sure how true this is but it makes sense to an extent. I don’t have any of these issues currently, but if there is no harm in using mogas like this (blended) or even exclusively, I wont mind paying the +- 30% lower pump price of mogas.
