Many of us with Packard V-8s are bothered by the low octane, alcohol corrupted, gas available today. The octane is too low and it has no lead. How many of you know that it is illegal for gas companies to add Tetraethyl lead, but perfectly legal for you to add it? Furthermore pure tetraethyl lead is available (quite legally) here in the States. It is sold by Vogel Products, Inc., 860 Repp Drive, Columbus, Indiana 47201, Phone: (812)376-2775. With this product you can increase octane to over 100, while protecting your valves. I only use it for hard driving on my 56 Patrician, but it seems to work fine.
