It seems to be that Avgas becomes more rarely available in Norway. Kristiansand-Kjevik (ENCN), one of the most used airports when reaching Norway from the south, just lost it’s Avgas availability and it will not be available again. Sandefjord-Torp (ENTO) continues to offer Avgas, but starting from this summer, only BP-cards are accepted. Creditcards are not welcome anymore. Voss (ENBM) did had Avgas from a private guy, but it seems that he doesn’t continue offering Avgas anymore, at least not regulary, so only Jet A1 or Mogas from the aeroclub are available.
Norway is one of the most beautiful European countries to fly in (as long as the weather is merciful), but fuel planning seems to get more and more difficult. If even big airports like Kjevik loses Avgas availability, then where do we start to fly in Norway at all?! Not all airplanes have a long range tank to start with…
Fuel is a problem. More and more go mogas or Jet, and there simply isn’t enough demand most places to run an avgas pump. People needing avgas purchase drums or fix other private arrangements. It’s cheaper that way too, but it makes it more problematic to travel around without pre-arrangements.
Interesting. In case more and more GA-airplanes are starting to use Mogas, why isn’t it available at (self-service) fuel pumps on airfields? Maybe we’re just very lucky in Germany with many airfields how offer regular (95 RON) or premium (98 RON) gasoline. And for sure, Avgas would still be needed for many types of engines.
Is there no UL91 or UL94 in Norway?
The general issue with selling non-100LL fuel is that it splits the airport’s purchases and reduces 100LL buy volumes, and thus increases the cost.
There can also be shelf life issues, if selling lower fuel volumes. 100LL is fine “for ever” but only if sealed non-vented.
TOTAL tried this years ago – around here – hoping to kill 100LL and all those using it, and obviously failed.
I am informed by a local that Norway has ~1000 pilots, which makes it difficult to get volume.
Norway has much more than 1000 pilots 
1000 with current ppl maybe, but at least as much UL and CPL who also fly SEPs (from time to time at least). And a whole bunch non-current in different degree of non-currency
But we are only 5.5 millions, and spread over a large area. At any local airport there are just a handful of active pilots. All Avinor airports (as ENCN) used to have avgas, if not fully permanent, then at least on a dedicated tank truck. But those days are long gone. All the large airports still have avgas, but for how long?
The point is, unless there is a local initiative by GA pilots themselves, 100LL slowly but surely disappears. On typical GA airports there are mogas or 91 UL + avgas + jet. The thing is, they are almost all local arrangements with no cards or things like that. You have to make a prior arrangement with someone. If I’m not mistaken, I think Lista, close to ENCN has avgas, but by private initiative.
Fuel is not the main issue at all. It’s easily fixed by individuals with a minimum of initiative. It’s no problem getting fuel just about everywhere, but it won’t work as the usual gas station. The main issue is the way EASA has organized GA, it makes private initiative by individuals illegal. GA as envisioned by EASA simply do not work when few people live far apart. So we turn to experimental and UL and similar that DO work.
