I have used aviation fuel blended with Sunoco 94 with no problems. I see no differance when blending with racing fuel from the track.

The key word is that you 'blended' the aviation fuel with land based 94 Mark. The airplane gas has a higher octane number (assuming you used 100 ave fuel) and you probibly wound up with around 97 octane. Good stuff for any street/strip car.

Keep in mind that octane is only a number representing the anti-knock properties of fuel. A higher number will not cause a car to go faster nor develope more horsepower.

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.

I believe 105 octane @ 51.9/gal in the 70's.

I thought it was 102 octane, and I remember pumping a dollars worth and cruising all night. In the 60's it was somewhere between $.30 and $.40 per gallon.

It was 102 octane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunoco
In 1969, it was around $.36 a gallon in Detroit.
When I cruised Woodward Av. with my friends, it cost less than $5.00 for a tank of gas, which would take you less than 100 miles. If you were a kid who worked for the minimum wage, $1.50 an hour, that was just over 3 hours wages to cruise on Friday night.

I don't think that having a gas pump next to an open flame (Fireplace!) is such a good idea!!!
