I bet the reason they don't do the behind-the-license-plate filler is because of the rear-end collision fires. Just a guess, though! I sure wish they'd decide which side of the car the stupid things were gonna be on!!!
Seems like 103 was about the average high around here way back when, and the racing fuels start about 112 - 114 still yet. AvGas still has lead, and runs up there somewhere. I think the methanols and alcohols can be up in the 130s.
Yeah, most of that is here:
Octane rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I was pretty close on all that...
I'll have to see the picture of the "special tool." It'll drive me crazy if I can't figure it out!!!
