I noticed that a Sunoco gas station near me has a pump labeled something like "racing fuel", 100 octane, "street legal".
(I take it the last phrase is there to emphasize that it's lead free).
I've been tempted to try some just for the hell of it... but figured
I'd better scratch my head first and check if there's the
slightest chance it would damage my beloved Insight.
(I could head down the road another half dozen miles to
Teterboro Airport and get some good ole lead enriched
fuel [a], but That would be Very Wrong)
Has anyone played with this stuff? Thanks
[a] aviation fuel still has some lead in it. Not as much
as a decade ago, when Superman could have used
it as a Kryptonite shield, but still an annoying amount.
