<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-size: 16px;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: arial, sans-serif;">It's a long story. Short version, I run race fuel in the TR3 but AvGas in my FV motors. I'm paying about $6/gal for AvGas.<div><br><div>Folks more knowledgeable than I am have explained that octane is not a "Gods Law" formula. Consequently the formula for calculating octane for AvGas is very different from that for road going fuel. So, 100 octane AvGas has no good way to compare to race fuel. In general, aviation motors are lower compression than our race engines. They need ultimate reliability since they cant coast to the side of the track if they throw a rod.</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, those same more knowledgeable folks told us in the FV community that AvGas "low lead" has more lead than road fuel ever did. Same issue of reliability with valves and seats.</div><div><br></div><div>Mike<br><br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: black;">-----Original Message-----

Fifty/fifty, as I recall. Seemed like a lot of extra work to me, but Mike said that AV gas must achieve a particular octane rating, which he trusted over and above what you might purchase at the track, or else where.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Bill Dentinger<br><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Feb 19, 2016, at 3:38 PM, J.C.
