Just flew with 100LL, and I also clean up with anti-lead soap. I'm the only pilot I know who does this, but I can't wait to fly something electric ugh.

The politics and logistics issues holding back lead free avgas are extremely frustrating. I really thought we would have seen that transition by now.

Who knows, maybe it will take electric aircraft to finally put an end to the issue.
