I use Max Lead a tetraethyl lead additive I buy for 45.00 a gallon. I add 1 ounce for every gallon of gas and it raises the octane to just over 101. Premium 93 octane is currently selling for 2.06 a gallon and add .35 cents for each ounce of Max Lead, that gives me 101 octane gas with lead in it for 2.41 per gallon.

What a difference in Octane ...

We dont have 87 and 89...

We have 91, 95, 98 and 100 Octane here...

For example, in all my Cars i´m driving with only 95 Octane.

Rick...what ever the stock valve seats are, that's what mine are...have had no head or valve work done. Send me a pm of where you get yours from...I was paying 30 bucks a gallon until late last year when my supplier raised his price. I've been buying from Vogel Products in Columbus IN

BTW...2.06 for premium was yesterday...went out today and it is 2.15 per gallon.
