100LL is a tricky subject. I buy it at the local airport (where they are used to seeing me), but they do get really nasty about putting it in road-going vehicles, so I would usually fill a couple of 5 gallon containers, in addition to the airplane. Only had one old grouch rag me for it. On the negative side, I saw no real improvment in power over 87+ and a SMALL amount of 104+ octane booster. I empasize small, because too much octane booster makes your plugs look like you are burning chocolate syrup. 100LL is dyed to be able to distinguish it from jet A, and that dye is forever coloring my intake manifold....poop.
