66 L79 Chevy II first real drive in 35 years

what do you do for gas? The crap we get today lasts a few months. The additives you put in to preserve it dont seem to work like it once did.

Frank I can get 91 octane no ethanol gas around my parts and it seems to work well, no issues in several years with 3 old cars. Put in all my yard equipment too.

We have a fairly local gas station that sells 100 octane right at the pump. Think it's Cam2 or Vp racing fuels. Much longer shelf life, well over a year, and you don't have to worry about damage that today's fuel will cause.

Thanks! Only thing that scares me are the tires, don't want to push my luck with any long drives. But some short local drives I think are ok. Amazingly once the tires got a little heat in them things really smoothed out a bit.
