Just picked up my first British built car... I've tinkered and learned some lessons on stuff from all over the world but it's been a while since I've turned a wrench on something this old. What is the current "best" recommendation for fuel? I've seen documentation that I should be running some 90+ octane, heard one person tell me I should be using 100% ethanol (yikes) and of course there are additives to replace the good old fashioned lead.... What do I do for this girl? She's a beauty and deserves to sip on the finest most healthful elixir I can afford but what do you seasoned veterans of the breed recommend?

I use Shell 93 octane whenever I can. I toss in a few ounces of Seafoam with every tankful.
Several of my airplane friends are encouraging me to get to an airport and fill up with 100 LL when the car goes off the road for the winter. AvGas has a 10 year shelf life, so you don't have to worry about the gas going bad like you do with pump gas. I'm tempted to try it just to see how the car runs with it before taking it off the road.
