AV Gasoline in the "Old Days"

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

80/87 was red (leaded)
100/130 was green (leaded)

and now 100 Low Lead is blue

When I was a flying instructor in 1978, I would treat my car to an 
occasional tank of 100/130.  It made quite a difference.  

The 80/87 was similar to pump gas at the time.  

We even had drag racers coming to the airport and buying jerry cans of 
100/130 for the days race. 

Now, it is very difficult to buy avgas from the airports.  Too bad. 

Regards,

K.
