Not to beat a dead (and somewhat non LBC topic), but I guess I still
should make myself even more clear. Firstly, I am not talking about
Sweden (my mail address is somewhat misleading). In the US there are
many grades of gasoline. I am *not* talking about 87, 89, 92 or 93
octane. As far as I'm concerned, that is all one grade--autogas. It
*should* be red. I've had a few e-mails saying Amoco is marketing a
clear 93 octane autogas. I'm not saying I don't believe you. But
I am surprised this is legal, because this is *dangerous*. Autogas
is the lowest grade of gasoline as far as purity and octane go. Racing
and aviation fuels are *much* higher quality and sometimes *much* higher
octane. If Amoco is marketing a 93 octane clear gasoline, this makes
it very easy to counterfeit aviation/racing fuels--which is likely
to cause severe engine damage (and in the case of high octane aviation
fuels, severe engine damage is often fatal.)
