No, The Blenheim appears to run on 87 octane fuel only - so engine behaviour would suggest.

It can be successfully flown providing you keep these things in mind: boost less than 4 lbs; cylinder head temperatures (over right hand shoulder) >180 but <<250; begin introducing carburetta heat at just below 5000 ft; switch to coarse pitch (or nearly coarse) as soon as you reach 120 mph at takeoff; make sure your engine oil doesn't drop too low with low revs.

P.S. That's a pretty silly comment Oden, flying the Blenheim is the CLOD activity least resembling airQuake I can imagine. The problem is it is unrealistically unforgiving ATM.
