The reason that avgas is a BadIdea (tm) is that it has a lot of additives
in it so that it will work at a wide range of altitudes and temperatures.
The effect of this is that:
1) it is not optimized for near sealevel at reasonable temperatures,
as autogas is and
2) the additives do nasty things to rubber and plastic parts in your
fuel system, unless they are TrickAviationParts (read:$$$$) that are
specially designed to not disolve in AvGas.

Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by
killing all those who opposed them.
