Thank you Bob I, PJ and Tom in MO. I hadn`t realized the octane gain was
only tenths. Oh well.
Tom, the car isn`t driven more than a few hundred miles per year - about
to turn over to 60k when I put `er away this week - so I guess valve
lubrication can starve for quite some decades before the wear becomes a
problem.
As I mentioned, I haven`t had pinging problems using current day`s
premium unleaded, so mixing in racing fuel wouldn`t be worth the time,
effort or money.
Here`s waving to ya - ||||

Anyone have info on the octane boost products out there? There`s a fair
range of pricing - $5-$12 to treat 20 gal - but little real info on the
product packaging.
This last tank I went with NOS (the nitrous oxide co.) "Street" formula
octane booster. The box says it will bump the rating by 2-3 points and
will act as a lead substitute and has "water suppressant qualities"
among about 10 other selling points. There was also a "Racing" formula
that boosted the rating by 5-6 points with the similar selling points.
I went with the "street" formula for about $4 less than the "racing"
version since I have had little problem with pinging when running 94
octane pump fuel. NOS products caught my preference due to citing real
octane boost numbers - none of the others did that I noticed. My main
purpose in using these products is as a lead substitute and, gee, the
"water suppressant qualities" sounds like something I could use given
the long term storage this car goes through. (i also use fuel
stabilizer.)
