Default Re: Gasoline

Keep in mind that in 1930, the octane rating of gasoline was maybe 60, and tetra-ethyl lead had not yet be introduced because compression ratios were quite low. So don't waste your money on high octane gas. If you can get ethanol free easily and without paying too much more for it, I'd use that as it will be less susceptible to vapor lock. The E85 has too much ethanol, so I would avoid that. Otherwise, 87 octane works.
