You can find more info on using aviation gas at:
http://www.seansa4page.com/resource/octane.html see section marked "6.19
Are aviation gasoline octane numbers comparable?"
Turns out that the octane numbers are the same for automobile fuel and
airplane fuel up to a rating of 100. Above 100, the two scales differ in
their method of calculation.
I ran avgas in my 95hp for years, and it allowed me at least a degree or two
of extra advance without pinging. Made for a noticable improvement in
performance.
Also, if you spill a lot of avgas in your shoe, it will clear up any toenail
fungus. (I speak from experience on this.) Worked great, but I wouldn't
recommend it. :)
