It's the point were your fuel gels in the line and kills your engines and you if your not careful. :)

Can't tell you the exact point at which Avgas freezes but i know that the ig Continentals had problems below -23c. Continental Aircraft ESB M73-3R3 advise a mix of Isopropryl alcohol of 1% by Vol

Didn't know the answer before this question was posted, but found out the freezing point of 100LL is -58C.

It's amazing what you can find on the internet.

It's amazing how much time one can waste on the internet...Yes, honey, I'll be off in a minute!

Just found this on Chevron's web site . . [quote]To avoid hydrocarbon crystallization, the avgas specifications require the freezing point of avgas to be less than –58ºC (–72ºF). . . <hr></blockquote>. .All you wanted to know about Aviation fuels <a href="http://www.chevron.com/prodserv/fuels/bulletin/aviationfuel/toc.shtm" target="_blank">Here</a>

Avgas itself may freeze at a very low temperature but any water in solution or fuel additives may cause problems well before -5o ish
