I had to wiki it to find out what RON is

"Philippines: A brand of Petron, Petron Blaze is rated at 100 RON (the only brand of gasoline in the Philippines without an ethanol blend). Other "super premium" brands like Petron XCS, Calex Gold, Shell V-Power are rated at 95-97 RON, while Petron Xtra Unleaded, Caltex Silver, and Shell Super Unleaded are rated at 93 RON."

I am not sure Mr. Lee, does the above answer that?

Aviation gaz is shit! Low low low octane so it's less volatile 'cause, who want an explosion when you're up higher than you'd care to fall?

Once as a kid we snuck into the local airfield in the wee hours and pumped a full tank of av gaz into my caddy.

D'oh

And that's a true story..........

It's as lousy to run in your car now as it was 40 yrs ago, read the link..it's being phased out.

Check it out, this is prolly no more than a mile from the airfield where I pumped that av gaz.
