hear that mike! growing up my next door neighbor was a chem engineer for exxon, always told us it was the worst of the worst that anyone could tell it was exxon by looking at a spark plug, with exxon they would have a red color to the porcelain.

back in the 60's real world amaco was the best. only real lead free made then, it burned clean, less carbon .less carb problems

today's gas would be better if we could lose the grain junk causing the problems . esp since it is not part of the refinery mix.
