Re: Leaded/Unleaded in the UK (score: 1): Author: Charley & Peggy Robinson <ccrobins@ktc.com>; Date: Sat, 27 Nov 1999 11:57:26 -0600; Hi Colin, What gets me about your commentary on octane rating is that I'm running my '69 B (with a c: '67 head) on 87 octane unleaded and have no pinking with the timing set at stock specs.

Re: Leaded/Unleaded in the UK (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@studiolimage.com>; Date: Sat, 27 Nov 1999 10:46:09 -0800; Umm, I think the US figures octane differently than the rest of the world, and that you need to add something like 5 to the US number to get its European equivalent. So US 87 equals British 92, or so; /html/mgs/1999-11/msg01196.html (8,216 bytes)

LRP in the UK has no British Standard and uses potassium which, apparently, didn't fare too well as lead replacement compound in the (unofficial) tests; /html/mgs/1999-11/msg01200.html (9,418 bytes)

Re: Leaded/Unleaded in the UK (score: 1): Author: "Paul Hunt" <paul.hunt1@virgin.net>; Date: Sun, 28 Nov 1999 16:49:57 -0000; The point about Valvemaster Plus is that it is supposed to raise the octane of standard unleaded to what 4-star leaded was, i.e. no retardation required. No ideal how the price compares. PaulH. Trefo; /html/mgs/1999-11/msg01240.html (8,883 bytes)

Re: Leaded/Unleaded in the UK (score: 1): Author: "Colin Brown" <ccbrown@whitesea.co.uk>; Date: Mon, 29 Nov 1999 10:09:13 -0000; Exactly my point Paul, but I do not see how one small addition can bring a tankfull back to 4* leaded quality ( I always thought that this had been standardised at 98 Octane) . Castrol even wrote me; /html/mgs/1999-11/msg01242.html (11,172 bytes)

Here in Colorado (~5000 feet), for instance, all the pumps start at 85 octane. In West Texas (~2000 feet) you can't find anything less than 87.
