What was the octane rating for 260? Anyone remember how much a gal. this was? When burnt, did it have the same lovely aroma as say CAM II?

What a time that must have been.

Pete, leaded gas always had a "sweet" smell, I never thought it was unpleasant at all and still don't. Unleaded blends on the other hand smell awful to me...

As to gas prices, I remember buying gas in Iowa in 1970 or 71 for as low as 17 cents a gallon - they used to have "gas wars" between brands!
