After having to use some avgas intermittently, I'm running BP 98 and Decalin.

 

What is the benefit of Decalin? I know it is an aromatic derived from Napthalene and is the defining core structure of cholesterol lowering Statins so presumably as an aromatic it will increase the RON number of the fuel.

Well I wouldn't bother to use it when using Mogas 98 as that has no lead and has aromatics that keep components clean anyway and improve combustion efficiency so it won't provide any extra benefit.
