Never took it as an 'implication'. This thread reminded me the same way, that is why I made the reference. Quite a few years ago we actually 'blended' our own fuels too. I primarily used tolulene, which at the time was the primary ingredient in techrolene. Ran the blend in everything from trucks, sleds, bikes, rototillers. Anything that 'exploded' fuels got the blend as subjects for our 'mad scientist' brains.
Thank god I survived and matured (I'll never grow up).
Bottom line- my Ultra-High Compression 'banger' does not live well below 92 octane and I'm sure does well with a 'lead' enima every tank as well.
Oh ya. I caught a cool segment of 'Rides' on the tube last night. It featured Leno's 'barn find' of a rare Duesenburgh. The cool part was his talks about the history of steam engines in autos and how (in the 20's) they were perceived as far superior to the 'exploding' gas engines.
My how far have we come........
