It was decided, years ago. that gasoline was THE preferred fuel. ....

It is the standard fuel used in the Lab. Octane Engine. So, now that you
know Lab Octane, you and Dave. I ask the question of both of you. What
is High Octane. Also, Tell us the difference between Lab. Octane,
Chemical Octane, and Road Octane.


The difference is simply in the way you measure detonation resistance (octane
rating) and is meaningless to the discussion. Over 50 years ago "octane rating"

[snipped useful info]

I have nothing against ethanol IF it can provide a similar gain.


Well written Vito. I wonder if we went back to high compression engines
and used less fuel to drive the same distance, would the amount NOx
produced be about the same? I miss my 68 383 with a four barrel Holly.

Cheers
Marty
