fact, if you dump 10 gallons of AVGAS into a Vair and take off down the
interstate, a well maintained 140 will just SCREAM!!!!   75 mph and not even
half way into the gas, in fact barely pushing down on the gas. All of the
engines ills will go away in a 20 mile drive, and a nice gray coating on the
inside of the tailpipe lets you know the lead is working.

Isn't this where we started out in '99??  ggg

OCTANE  is not power......it's the resitance to "self ignition" [ detonation ]

It allows an engine that detonates on a lower octane...and looses power since 
it comes at the wrong time [ too early]  to run under load..thus making more 
power..

High octane fuel is DIRTY fuel....plain and simple...."cleanest / highest 
quality"  is LOWEST OCTANE....

And an engine that CAN  be made to PING  SLIGHTLY  is running the correct 
OCTANE....any higher and you are losing power....albeit a slight loss...

Hank,  if you'd get the EUM  running...you'd be "refreshed" as to what makes 
our engines go! gggg
