If you  want readily available true 100 octane gas go to the nearest
general  aviation airport (where the little planes fly).  There you  can
probably buy the av-gas called 100LL.  It's 100 octane, leaded  gas, and
typically costs $3.60 to 4.25 per gallon.  Because it  contains
tetraethyl lead, it wouldn't do in Seth's new Vette, but should  run
fine with no problems in any non-catalyst cars - like  'Vairs.

Phil,
    Also don't use leaded fuel in any car that has an  O2 sensor (either 
narrow or wideband) in the exhaust since the lead will soon  poison the sensor.
