I believe it is 104 a local station here sells it, but never investigated it. But the post below about reg fuel boiling at 140 has me wondering if maybe mixing in 5 gal of race fuel to a tank would help with vapor lock. I do plan on fixing the problem this winter, this will be a bandaid fix for the summer.

Reid Vapor Pressure is the number to look for,the lower the number the higher the boiling
