Hello Roy - 

WC>> I always used premium Ameco in the motorcycles and that
WC>> made a very noticable difference. Too spensive these days
WC>> :-( 

CA>> I owned a tweaked Pontiac that had to use either Shell
CA>> premium or Sunoco 260 to avoid puffing black smoke out the
CA>> exhaust. THAT was expensive at 10 mpg! 

RJT> I owned a '67 Catalina one time that was fairly high
RJT> compression -- 10:1 if I remember right. That thing not
RJT> only needed high test but was fussy about which brand you
RJT> put into it, too. The wrong brand and you'd lose power,
RJT> lots of it. 

RJT> OTOH, with the right gas, you had to be *real* careful
RJT> about pressing down on that gas pedal, or it'd just sit
RJT> there spinning the wheels... :-) 

My Pontiac could do over 160mph and I could 'hide' back half of
the car in smoke from the rear wheels if I floored it taking off. :-)
