Mogas is sold in the USA.      

It doesn't mean anyting  not-avgas, it's a specific fuel.

Mogas is not sold in Australia.

According to Wikipedia,  mogas is "a slang for common gasoline (for cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers ...) used by aviators to distinguish it from avgas".

According to BP, "Mogas is otherwise known as motor gasoline, is used by ground vehicles, while Avgas is specifically developed for aircraft use"

 

Neither indicate it is a specific fuel different to what is available in Australia. Unless you can point to an example that shows Mogas actually exists as a specific fuel, I'm inclined to believe BP rather than just your say-so.

BP at Sunbury-Upon-Thames might be pretending to be Yanks, but we're taking about Australian fuels here so that's not adding anything to safety in our country when people are confused and sometimes misled about the correct fuel to use for their aircraft.

 

I was running through the Australian fuel suppliers this afternoon and there are 88 different companies with from 1 to 1540 outlets

 

Of these there really was a Mogas with 19 outlets servicing Regional South Australia and Northern Territory. OTR was the owner and was acquired by Viva Energy on April 2, 2024.
