THE PLT HAD BEEN USING AUTO GAS IN THIS ACFT, HOWEVER, HE EXPERIENCED WATER CONTAMINATION PROBLEMS AND DISCONTINUED ITS USE. HE THEN FOUND HIMSELF AT AN ARPT NEEDING FUEL. THE ARPT ONLY HAD AUTO GAS AVAILABLE SO THE PLT REFUELED THE ACFT WITH AUTO GAS. WHILE MAKING A TOUCH AND GO AT BREWER ARPT HE EXPERIENCED A PARTIAL POWER LOSS ON CLIMBOUT AT 700-800 FT AGL. HE DECIDED TO LAND ON AN UNOPENED SECTION OF HIGHWAY. JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN HE NOTICED A SET OF POWER LINES IN HIS PATH. HE DOVE TO PASS UNDER THE POWER LINES AND STRUCK THE ROAD HARD ENOUGH TO BOUNCE BACK INTO THE AIR. HE THEN LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT WHICH DESCENDED TO THE LEFT. THE ACFT FLIPPED OVER ON TOUCHDOWN.
