The 3.8 Liter V6 powering the Buick Park Avenue Ultra requires only 87 octane fuel. You can use 89 octane but there is zero benefit in doing so. The Supercharged version may require 89 or 91 octane of that I am not sure. Check the owners manual and use exactly what is recommended.
What parts are compatible with a 1972 buick Electra?
I had a 1971 Electra 225 that had 1 1971 taillight and 1 1972 taillight. It looked odd but it worked. The 1971 was the first of this body and thus 1972 had only detail changes, so a majority of 1971 parts should be a go. A lot of 1973 parts should work as well, But the very front and very rear were altered and that might also effect fenders/quarter panels. Glass should be okay for 71-73 (Esp on sedans/wagons) 1974-76 had some MORE sheet metal and dashboard changes, but glass for windsheilds and perhaps side windows on sedans/wagons should work on 1971-1976 (as should Cadillac DeVille and Olds 98s) Speaking of witch, The Oldsmobile 98s of the 71-76 era were Mechanically similar. (Cadillac used a different engine.) Also many mechanical parts from same year LeSabres/88s are shared. Being that these are full sized GM cars you should be able to get mechanical parts almost anywhere now and perhaps until doomsday. Body and trim stuff will have to be scavenged Check Hemmings Motor News, eBay. Good Luck My Electra was one of my favorite cars!

On my 1984 Buick Electra, it's a mechanical fuel pump located on the front of the engine on the passenger side. you'll need to remove the air pump and its bracket from the front of the engine, as well as loosen/move aside the A/C compressor if it has air conditioning. Next, remove the fuel lines (a total of three, two rubber (to the fuel tank) and one metal one running up to the carb...) The fuel pump is held on by two bolts - just remove those, then the pump will slide out to the left. Installation is reverse of removal. Hope this helps!
