Octane Rating of AV Fuel

He said it was a little over $2 / gallon. Not bad compared to the AV100 I've been running.

Wonder if anybody realizes plastic consumes more of our oil than fuel and plastic can be made from bioproducts too.
Have a lifelong friend who is a pilot and a flight instructor. He just chuckles when guys come to the airport for 'Jet Fuel'/AV Gas. He says the octane rating is at 'altitude' with corresponding baro pressures,humidity,temps,etc. I don't know, but we oval track raced alot of years and we always purchased fuel for 'ground' vehicles. Just sayin'-can anyone elaborate? May save OP $'s. If you didn't mean aviation fuel sorry for the post.

Too bad they haven't found one in Houston yet. If you find one, update their list.
Checked your list and the ONE location within a tankful drive of me JUST opened and is less than 2 miles from me! Don't have the knowledge to debate the science BUT I want the CHOICE! Just wondering, does anyone know how many SS Camaro's are running the streets of Brazil?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C.S. Lewis
