Don't quite understand Cars ran on unleaded in the US until 1970. I'm pretty sure sex was even invented by then!

No, I'm actually positive first hand, sex was invented before 1970.

Which brings me to my other point, don't smoke crack...

Most every gas was LEADED (no UN) before 1970. Leaded gas has a realative octane rating of todays "race' gas, like 110 or something...

Wrong, read WRBlues post.

Thanks WRBlue for correcting me....1970 was when the compression ratio dropped in the US....along with performance.
