I don't understand how the most viable solution is unleaded avgas and not a widespread transition away from spark ignition. Jet-A is cheaper than 100LL, let alone 100UL, but planes equipped with equivalent Jet-A diesel engines have significantly lower fuel burn and much higher range.
I would think that flight schools and other operators would be pushing their fleets to diesels just for the lower operating costs.
