I bet the Continantal would run just fine on autofuel, unless it's a
model witht the soft valve seats..Try to find a certified airplane that
has an STC for autofuel to be sure.

Remember aircooled motors run much hotter so be even more careful not to
rely on the engine driven fuel pump lest you want to end up in the
weeds!

Rueffy,
The Stratus EA-81 all up is near 215 lbs, I believe the continental is
more like 205, not so much a difference, but the horsepower would be
similiar.  I frequently see Continentals at or near $3500.
Your Stratus is going to be worth close to that or a little more.  You
like burning 100LL? instead of 87-octane car gas.  I'm surprised you'd
swap with that kind of economy going for you.
