Hey steve the last drum of avgas I bought (200litres) is crap too :( its only 100 octane with no lead :( blame the polies - greenies they have changed the laws so no lead can be run on the streets since jan the first. The additives they have in unleaded- premium unleaded ect is worse in my opinion for your health than lead benziene and other additives are carcinogenic. Good luck at the drags I wont be down as I havnt changed my clucth yet :( Ive been to busy with house another few weeks we will move in. Cheers Andrew
