    I would like to know what our fuel options are. I mostly run auto fuel with 10% 91 oct. , so that would be nice.

    Regarding fuel:
    Caldwell (10 miles from Greenleaf) has avgas for $4.65
    Nampa (16 miles) has avgas for $4.66 and 91 octane Mogas for $3.52.

    I am base at Nampa and use the Mogas all the time. It is at the pump and does not have any ethanol.

    Personally I would suggest Nampa as your fuel stop because the airport is usually less busy. Caldwell has helicopter training that uses taxiway A for their runway. What this means is all fixed wing traffic does their patterns to the north and all helicopters do their traffic to the south and use taxiway A. Runway 30 has right traffic at Caldwell.

    Other fuel options:
    Mountain Home (65 miles SE) has avgas for $4.15
    Payette (30 miles N) has Mogas for $3.35
    Weiser (37 miles N) has avgas for 4.49

    E-free Mogas is great for my old tanks. Anybody happen to know if there's an Amsoil dealer around Nampa? I've got to try to source a few gallons of Eliminator or HP Marine on that end of the trip. Dunno, I may be the only two stroker making the trip.
