Is that Research Octane Number, Motor Octane Number, or US pump octane number

worth fussing about? You can make that much difference in driving style.
In my neck of the woods it's 3.529 vs 3.729.
It's just always been 10 cents per grade in recent years.

Kaleb,
I sent an email to you directly, but didn't get a response. What cars are you
wanting to get rid of? My indy has interest in some of them and may be able to
bring a transporter down there to haul off 2-3 of them. Are any of them in
running condition? If not, what condition are they i
