Here's what some racers used to do, not sure they still do this: Go to your
local general aviation airport with a 5-gallon can and have them fill it with
Avgas. There used to be several higher octanes, but if my memory is correct
the common avgas is still 100 octane. Word when I used to work at airports
was that they just mixed the avgas with regular gas, as running pure would
burn the pistons. YMMV, and this is all hearsay.
