The method I read was that the 95 was Research Method (The R in (R+M)/2). It apparently yields a higher number than the M method. I just read that the equivalent octane rating if were listed as current octane levels are would be about 91 octane.

Yes, avgas still has high octane and lead. Think of it as a crop duster spraying bits of lead all over us as they pass by. Moral of the story, try not to live in the flight paths of a general aviation airport.

You can always go to an airport and get some 100LL....

Of course, the vintage vehicles will have problems. No gasoline today is sold with tetraethyllead additives. I am sure that the ethanol also causes them problems as the gas lines and seals weren't made to tolerate alcohol either.

Simplify maybe. I have vintage vehicles that run on premium and need a lead additive.

It's clear from this discussion that there is merit to the notion of having one octane grade for all vehicles. It would certainly simplify things and allow us to work our brain cells on something useful.
