Airports don’t always have the space for a second avgas tank (if this is the in between option), and if they did don’t necessarily want to spend money on setting up that infrastructure. So the current catch-all is to provide leaded which is cheaper and guaranteed to work in everything.

I think it’s great we are getting this forced through - it will make the approval process streamlined (like loda was) and removes a major reason people used to push airport shutdowns.

Lots of airports are owned or regulated by local governments which might want to move that single tank to just unleaded. E.g. Santa Clara County banned 100LL at local airports.

Forklift upgrades suck, too. You get some of the way along and then forklift. Arguably we're reaching that point.
