Re: AV Gasoline in the "Old Days"

Your dead on, it was green gas and it smelled pretty good also, unlike gas
of today.  Made a big difference in my cars.

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.
