Besides - the ATSB says he refuelled at Mt Gambier. I don't believe MtGambier has a MOGAS pump, so it's gotta be AVGAS.
I think the inference is that it may have been refuelled with AVTUR. I don't know what the setup is at YMTG but if it's the same as YLEC then only the correct carnet card can operate the pump. Unless of course a credit card is used instead. I was shocked a few weeks ago to find out the AVGAS you get now isn't the green 100/130 that I used to have, but instead is 100LL.
