Dr Hodges the the mogas  STC man offers an octane checker device for sale.
City 98 sometimes has butane bubbled thru it at refiners to up octane
rating. This fuel quickly looses it's octane rating taken up in air
especially hot days.  Country the  98 is USUALLY a better fuel but
occasionally city  98 gets to country and it bad news at Uralla NSW in
summer is (3500ft asl) Avgas keeps constant Oct rating even if out of date.
VW does not need lead but any engine only needs 20 percent Avgas for lead
lubrication. The rest is for octane rating only. Ian
