Mogas or Avgas ?

Hi Everyone

I am the proud new owner of a tri-gear Europa with the Rotax 80hp engine. Having looked at the Rotax website, they recommend Unleaded Mogas as the engine will run 'cleaner' than if Avgas is used. Also the service interval is shortened with Avgas. So, it seemes a simple decision which fuel to use. Is it that simple though ? The storage of Avgas is much more controlled. Refueling at destination airfields could prove a difficult, let alone the cost of the taxi to/from the pertol station.

What do other Rotax owners use ? Maybe a combination of the two ?

Any info greatly apprecieated.

Tango.
