Fellow listers,

What is the maximum compression ratio that is compatible with the current
gasoline available in California ? The pumps state octane ratings of 87, 89,
& 91. I am rebuilding a '72, 1300cc MKIV Spit and would like to go to 8.5 or
even 9.0 to 1 if feasible.  Things were so much easier back in time, just
pull up to the Sunoco station and fill 'er up with 260 !!

TIA,   Ken C
