Fuel in Italy
Can't remember which GA magazine, but only last year a touring article made the point that Avgas was difficult to get (not to find) at Italian airfields. The writer described how he was allowed gas for "emergency use", which seemed a goodwill local arrangement. Something to do with supplies at the field being only for Italian registered aeroplanes, due to a tax rebate system.
Was the writer unlucky - or rude and given retribution? Can you easily buy Avags at small fiels - the kind of places a friend and I hope to visit in July in a Pipoer Vagabond (limited endurance) and a Sportavia Milan?
