Will it do anything other than make your wallet alot thinner?  I don't
think so, however Avgas has a lower evaporation rate (not the phrase I am
looking for, but it will do.) to prevent vapor lock at altitude...  I do
not think there is any gain to be found by using AvGas in a street driven
car.  If anyone else has an opinion, go ahead and throw it into the
ring!!!

just my .02...
