Grade 100VLL Aviation Gasoline SAIB NE-11-55

Posted by FAA on 09.14.11 at 09:34 AM

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) advises aircraft operators, Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), FAA repair stations and Flight Standards District Offices, and Foreign Civil
Aviation Authorities that grade 100VLL aviation gasoline meeting the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) fuel specification D910 is acceptable for use on aircraft and engines certificated for operation with D910 grades 80, 91, 100, and 100LL aviation gasolines. Grade 100VLL meets all the performance requirements of grades 80, 91, 100, and 100LL and therefore meets the approved operating limitations for aircraft and engines certificated to operate with these
other grades of aviation gasoline.

What does the "V" in 100VLL stand for? Is this fuel less expensive? If so, how soon can it be expected in the marketplace?

I think it stands for Very Low Lead. I doubt it is cheaper.
