Agreed.  I recall an email conversation with someone about the cost of high-test gas, hating to pay for it for his Spitfire.  I suggested that the cost might be 10% to 20% more than the low-octane stuff that goes in the family SUV, but the Spitfire gets 30% to 50% better mileage.  The conclusion is obvious.  Forget the cost, get the LBC to do its thing as well as it can!
