Re: Octane Today and in the 60's

["62-65-mail-list-club-Gary-H" <62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recall back in the 1960s and early 1970s the gasoline brand Sunoco
had gas pumps with multiple octane gasoline choices. The drag racers
went there to fill up on the highest octane blend at those pumps.

 See:

 I found a decent discussion of gasoline and octane online here:
