Ron: Don't forget that aside from the fuel being unleaded, the Octane ratings are about 3 points less per grade than they were when your Comet hit the road. You may also be getting the last of the oxygenated Winter gas burned out of the car. That is horrible stuff. I'm still searching for that elusive Chevron "White Pump", remember the light green color; and I think it was 100 Octane......43 cents a gallon. The '66 442 loved it.
