Part of the process of supplying a dedicated aviation fuel involves strict specification and quality control measures. These have been developed by the Aviation Industry for Avgas to ensure that it is fit for flight operations and reaches the aircraft in good condition. For example, these measures include filtration standards for removing dirt and free water which could block filters, cause corrosion or impact engine performance.
And, while additives may be used to enhance both Avgas and Mogas performance, the aviation industry has stringent procedures for approval of additives with a focus on aircraft engine and fuel system reliability.

Lycoming approved "mogas" by controlling automotive gasoline properties differently than what is done for ground transport vehicle "pump gas. That's pretty specific stuff and only one of those values is listed on the filling station pump. The first three parameters are what fuel wholesalers control when ordering pump gas.
Long story short: This isn't your corner market "pump gas. The other detail to sweat is that Lycoming's approval is for the engine only, not the airframe. TCs and STCs are still needed to be legal on certificated aircraft. In the next articles, we will explain in more detail the controls we placed on "pump gas," why we decided to approve an automotive gasoline on some of our engines, and why Airworthiness by Design should be everyone's first consideration.
