Tried some avgas years ago on my '67 Dodge Coronet R/T. A few miles down the road, I had a look under the hood as it seemed to be running hot... the cast iron exhaust manifolds were glowing! Added 15 gallons of the lowest octane I could find and the car survived the experience, but it was an eye-opener. My old man -- former pilot -- explained the whole thing about flame front and fuel burning in the exhaust. Definitely dodged a bullet there!

I know that you may be considering the use of av gas in your 928s. But you really should very cautious of av gas! It can do terrible things both to you, and to your 928. Av gas will not only leak out of your engine faster than you can put it in, but it will also cause your fuel filter to clog and implode, dumping debris and dirt into your injection system. It also will make every part of your 928 permanently slippery because of its linear molecular chain dispersion action.
Av gas will round off your gears and spin your bearings. Av gas will also splatter onto your seat causing your girlfriend to never ride with, or sleep with, you again. Av gas coats your cylinders with a whitish pro-emulsification additive that is both non-removable and highly corrosive. Av gas will completely leak out onto the ground overnight, force your favorite dog to drink it at gunpoint, and he will then die a slow horrible writhing death.
Av gas will wear out your tires and make your battery leak. It will give you the desperate need to urinate after you fasten your seatbelt and then jam it. Av gas will cause your 928 to stall on railroad tracks and accelerate uncontrollably near police cars. Av gas will make it rain during rallies and on every weekend. It will cause your timing belt to jump teeth and break your valves to bits. Av gas chemically weakens 928 valves and causes the clearances to change every sixteen miles. Then it melts the black soles of your driving shoes the night before you walk across your new carpeting.
While riding past groups of attractive women it will cause your transmission to miss a gear and your muffler to fall off. It also causes your windshield to crack, your studs to break, and your rotors to warp. Av gas then screws your carfax by breaking your odometer gear. It also wets your dry clutch and dries your torque tube. It makes your clutch cable or slave cylinder seal fail in the heaviest traffic on the hottest day of the year while putting an angry wasp in your ear for good measure.
Av gas hides your 13mm socket and puts superglue on your seat. Av gas will scratch your Raybans and make your jeans shrink two sizes the night before SITM. Av gas will then steal your neutral and sell it to the Chinese for $1.25.
So let's be careful out there!

Doc,
That is a STEAL on 100LL! I guess I was just used to seeing it up near $6/gal at ABIA. We had it at a bit over $4/gal in the 'hood and those guys co-op and just pay the actual cost, no mark ups... I guess they will be ready to refill at close to $3/gal soon!
