Just had an interesting conversation with a friend, who informed me that a
mechanic recently told him that the octane of your gasoline only matters
if you have a newer engine that can adjust to differing octanes.
How much truth is there in this, and what octanes are people burning in
their ole trucks? (My '54 3100 has the straight six engine in it.)
