...oops, you're correct! It's 100LL, but as of 2008, new 94UL (unleaded = UL) fuel has been available...at some airports.

...insanely amounts?

80/87 (red) = 0.5 ml TEL per gallon.
100LL (blue) = 1.2-2.0 ml TEL per gallon.
100/130 (green) = 3.0-4.0 ml TEL per gallon.
115/145 (purple) = 4.6 ml TEL per gallon.

...planes I flew in used 115/145, called 'grape juice' due to purple coloring.
