links I ran across when I was trying to refresh my memory about the 'average' BTU per gallon of reg. As much as I'd like to rely on a Vermont source (an old native here :) ) reg at 105 and 93 at 115 seems the opposite of what I've read elsewhere.

little or none. octane rating is not a measure of energy content or burning temp. - Morgoth 2006-05-26 13:03:42 (100 views)

here are some although i've seen regular listed at 124K in other places.... - Morgoth 2006-05-27 00:26:48 (112 views)

Better SO2 than HS2. :) Did you have a new cat? - VonK :: Retired 2006-05-27 12:25:18 (83 views)
