There’s a few things I don’t agree with in that article . One is it’s not formulated for low RPM that’s relative. Most lycoming engines run at WOT at 2700 ROM or less many 2100 ROMs on the take off roll. So what low RPM he’s taking about and what the High Rpm?

If it doesn’t last longer that’s news to the aviation and landscapers who use it specifically because it doesn’t gel up like regular fuels.
Also airplane engines have 7.0 to 7.9 to one compression in its most popular engines
MOR rating is only half the story as well when it comes to octane .
I’ve personally drained fuel from an airplane wing that sat for over 10 years that didn’t have a tinge of varnish smell or flakes to it.
