Well we got our answer. Very sad news. Unless the entire GA market switches to Jet-A, it wont survive. Currently jet A is 60 cents per litre cheaper than Avgas. Avgas of any kind is too much of a nich product and companies won't want to refine it any more.
In any case it's no loss for flying schools as the Archer/Warrior is far more robust an airframe and is much better suited to ham fisted student pilots.
