Highest Octane For Stock ECU??

Remember when Sunoco had custom blending at the pump ? You could go from 190 economy to 260 which was two notches above their 240 which was premium . You could select anything in between in increments of 10

Yup, I also remember static timing, points and condensers!

Octane is not that big of a deal since the ECU made its way into cars.

Oh yeah; the good ol days when GTOs, Roadrunners, Z28s and 442s roamed the streets.

Noop, I remember fuel for under 50ct. a gallon. Self serve pumps just started being installed. Most of them were still full service. Getting the oil checked, added, etc. Front window washed.

That was my first paying job ( except for paper boy ) pumping gas at a full service Sunoco station. The economy grade 190 was going for 19.9ct. a gallon in 1972

My first job was for Boron Oil at a gas station. I remember standing guard at the pumps with a shotgun during the 1973 gas crisis. Had cars lined up around 2 blocks.

My gas tank was always full.
