Avgas octane is measured on a very different octane scale, so you aren't getting the octane you think you are. It's very expensive, but this is because it is much more carefully refined, stored, and controlled. You can't take any chance on getting a little water in some gas destined to be used at 10,000 ft. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
