Road and Track test specified premium in their contemporary road test, but
didn't give a number, they used a RON octane number back then, which gave
higher octane reading, now they use an average of RON and MON, which gives a
lower number, I think Premium was about 100-104 RON back then, but somebody
correct me if I am out of the ballpark.
According to this article http://www.osbornauto.com/racing/dragster.htm
todays gas of 92 octane would be about 96-97 octane RON, I know it varies
throughout the country, 91 or 92 is the best you can get around where I
live, but if you could get 94 octane modern gas think you would be in the
ballpark of factory requirements.
