Assuming no knock or ping with your current octane, the higher octane is of no value.

I used to use 100+ from a small airport near home. Not much difference from the Shell 91 or Sunoco 93

I believe avaition fuel and maybe some racing fuel still has lead in it. Ruin a O2 sensor and catalic convertor if you have them.

Hello Pinetree. 8th and I, tough duty. I was too raggady assed for that. Brings tears today.

Yea, we were all spit and polish...

Did a bunch of White House, Pentagon, and funeral details. Summers included parades at the Marine War Memorial and the Barracks at 8th & I.

But it was truly an honor to be chosen for that duty assignment.

Thanks for your service!
