Dear Keith<br><br>Avgas, I believe. Aviation fuel must be as energy dense and as light as possible. I suspect the specifications for aviation fuel would be much stricter than for terrestrial transport - where you can get away with heavier substitutes and additives. <br><br>Cheers<br><br>X<br><br><br><br>> From: keith@evfit.com<br>> Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 17:34:55 +1100<br>> To: alex-po@trevbus.org<br>> CC: peakoil@act-peakoil.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Peakoil] Saudi crude can't replace Libyan<br>> <br>> The FT comment is a bit subtler than this. Personally, I expect that, unless Gadaffi destroys a significant part of the infrastructure, Libyan oil production will resume within a few weeks. I'm also not so sure Libyan oil is unique.
