#1 What the hell is "high test"?

For the kids in the group..... years ago, it is what they called
"Premium" fuel.

Anybody remember the Sunoco pumps where you could dial up your choice
of octanes? (And before anybody gets too technical on me.... yes, they
went beyond the octane classifications into the research numbers....
all the way to 102, if I remember correctly.....

We used to go to the local muni airport and purchase 110 LL and mix it
with auto gas to get various octanes. Back then it was all calculated
horse power because nobody had a dyno or access to one.

Some folks are still doing that! 100LL is *loaded* with lead and it
doesn't take much to tame the bad habits of crap fuel.

Just don't get caught...

This was back in the days when the sold "leaded" fuel additives in 8 and
12 ounce bottles, just after the switch from to unleaded gasoline. All
of the cars had motors that predated 1970.

Rumor has it I may sneak a bit of VP 110 octane in our bikes here and
there;)

I prefer sporting contests in which the contestants follow *all* the
rules, and don't look for ways to cheat. Speaking of which, I placed
19th (out of 93) yesterday in a "Country Combat Shooting Contest" in
southern Virginia. I am thrilled. It was the first contest of this kind
(fast shooting, lots of different kinds of target, different stances,
reloading, et cetera) I'd ever entered, and most of the shooters were a
lot younger. It was hot as hell out there...upper 90's.

#2 How do you know you aren't getting E10? It will still say "Regular",

In Iowa the pumps have placards and the ethanol pump says so right on
it. They tell you the octane as well. Locally. you can get leaded
aviation gas, leaded racing fuel, pure methanol, E-10, and the usual
two grades of straight gas.

I don't know if there is anything in the rules about aviation fuel but
at the track we can buy and use the racing fuel according to the rules.
As I found out (with an official up my butt) is you can't fuel at the
gate;) Some of the guys run straight 110 or 112 octane but those are
pretty tweaked engines.
