Seems easiest and cheapest to just buy 100 LL avgas at your nearest
airport for about @$2.28 American currently.  I have seen documentation
recently in the journal of the Aircraft Engine Historical Society that
when richened slightly, this works as well as the old heavily-leaded
125/145 stuff.  People are using it in high performance racing warbirds
nowadays with satisfaction.  If anybody's interested, I can supply the
article.  It has the 'ring of truth' as far as I can tell.  Bill
