David,
Any suggestions on a portable vapor pressure tester?
Cost?

It is a very good idea to use a vapor pressure tester when running mogas.
100LL always tests around 65 kPa's, but some mogas will come in at less than
40. The lowest I have seen this summer is 49 at 85F. Some of us carry an
altitude conversion chart and without looking at it, I would guess 49 is
good up to at least 15000'.
Actually, the price of all fuel has gone ballistic. I don't fly as much as
I did a year ago.

Mark,
This is the unit I use. Petersen Aviation sells the kit. It is very portable.
