Default Plane fuel as lead, lot's of it.
...Atleast here in Europe.

Try increasing the octane by mixing toluene and normal pump gas. Lot's of instructions in the net.

Default I am pretty sure that it doesn't in the US because of emissions laws...
the reason for unleaded gasoline in the first place.

Think again.... all gas above 100 octane is leaded - it is one factor in the higher octane....

Default Not so sure about that....
In fact I know that is untrue since you can get 104 unleaded I am 100% positive of from Sunoco for one.

It is leaded so don't use too much of it or you will burn up your catalytic converter for sure!

Default That is what I am looking into now. There is very high octane unleaded also available...
Which I believe is how the aviation industry is moving also.

Default Check the gas / toluene mixture
It's a very easy and cheap way to increase octane. Also relatively harmless to production car engines!
