[Healeys] gas additives

[Leonard Hartnett]

Oh my gosh!  Am I the only one that is running 87 octane in his Healey?  And 
without aditives?  I buy the least expensive gas that I can find in town. 
With most running in the $3.80 - $3.90 range, I found 'regular' at $3.77 
this morning.  My engine does not ping.  I am not ashamed to run it in 
autocrosses or hillclimbs or other 'speed' events - fourth in class in 2002 
autocross, 2 seconds behind winner; 3rd in 2006 and 2nd in 2007;  69 MPH in 
the 2002 1/4 mile speed run - top three cars in class were tied at 70 MPH. 
I see no performance or economic advantage in using anything higher than 
needed.

And I haven't had any problems with plugged injectors  <G> .

I am inclined to go along with Dave Porter:  if your engine is pinging, 
perhaps you are in need of a tune-up.
