Higher octane gasoline could be made (110-130?? Aviation fuel, etc), though it was probably more costly to make. Most vehicles back then didn't need high grade stuff to run anyway. On another note...I've watched quite a few "pilot training" movies from the period. In most when talking about power settings, they note that the training planes are using a lower grade fuel (something like 90 I think). They must have been trying to save every drop of the good stuff for overseas. With the 110-130 more power could be made, since you could get more "boost" without preignition. Brandon
