While turning dirt with my 140 yesterday, got to thinking about today's gas versus the gas the C-123 motor design was drinking back in the 1930's. I knew an old-timer who said there was a lot of aviation gas formulation changes during WWII as planes added superchargers and flew to high altitudes. Has gasoline formulations and octane aspects changed much since the 1930's? I put 87 octane regular gas in my Farmall.
