[6pack] Avgas

[Greg Perry]

Tony,

In the 70's and 80's I just drove up next to the fuel truck at the local airport, walked over the headquarters/ office and asked if I could get some 100 octane (blue) fuel.  Someone would come over and fill my tank.  I had an 11:1 compression in an Oldsmobile at the time.  Greg Perry
