Re: IML: 100 Octane Gas in My 1968



If you really want good gas, check out your local small airport. Here in Fl. I'm getting 100 LL (LOW LEAD)  $3.90. We use this to test our 80-90 mph. boats, and my 77 Dodge van (440) LOVES IT ! Ya'll have a nice day, Dave.

I found a local Coastal that sells 100 octane gas for 5.99/gal. Even though it's awfully expensive I decided to give it a shot. This past summer I pretty much alternated between 93 octane and the 100 octane - in other words, when I was down to 1/2 a tank I'd fill up with either the 93 or the 100, depending on what I had filled up with the last time.
 
I didn't notice any particular improvement in the performance of the car, so I am wondering if there was any benefit to using the 100 octane, or did I just waste my money? When I bought the car four years ago I had the points replaced with electronic ignition. I put very few miles on the car each year. I do get it up to highway speeds fairly frequently when I do use it. I also use a lead substitute every other tankful.
 
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
 
Thanks
