I only worry about octane when I'm driving against the wind in states that think they have higher altitudes than the average in NV, but sell 84 or 85 octane for the price of 87, then confuse the daylights out of me by offering corn free gas for 10¢ a gallon more. I think I'll just get the 87 and be done with it.
As for my nail bags, their demise relates to high humidity condition in the basement of my house in NJ. It rotted them. I had another pair that I bought in 1966 that lasted over 40 years. I'm getting a new pair from Kline Tools like the old ones. They should last until I'm 100, if I last that long, especially working on the top of patio roofs.

It's clear from this discussion that there is merit to the notion of having one octane grade for all vehicles. It would certainly simplify things and allow us to work our brain cells on something useful.

Simplify maybe. I have vintage vehicles that run on premium and need a lead additive.

Of course, the vintage vehicles will have problems. No gasoline today is sold with tetraethyllead additives. I am sure that the ethanol also causes them problems as the gas lines and seals weren't made to tolerate alcohol either.

You can always go to an airport and get some 100LL....

Yes, avgas still has high octane and lead. Think of it as a crop duster spraying bits of lead all over us as they pass by. Moral of the story, try not to live in the flight paths of a general aviation airport.

The method I read was that the 95 was Research Method (The R in (R+M)/2). It apparently yields a higher number than the M method. I just read that the equivalent octane rating if were listed as current octane levels are would be about 91 octane.
