Can get 110 at a 76 station about 25 miles from me it was $7.75 a gallon before gas went up,  I'll bet it's around ten bux about now.  Eek!

I put Sunoco race fuel in from the stock car track I work at sometimes. Can't say I notice much of a difference power wise( as I'm not changing the tune for 1 tank full) But I DO like the smell! It's like perfume! :grinyes: :icon16: :rebel:

We have a station by the about a mile or 2 from the racetrack where we can get it. I ran a tank full through NIKKI 2-3 summers ago. IMO- save your money, at first I (thought) I noticed a slight difference (power of suggestion maybe??). But as I ran through the tank.. nawwww no real change...  :grinno:

Unless you car is built to use the additional octane (due higher compression and/or aggressive timing lead), putting high test in an average compression engine does nothing more than drain your wallet. If you car runs fine on regular or 93 octane, don't bother with race gas. Now if your combo is on the fring of detontion and you have to back off timing to keep it alive, than the higher octane gas will help, a lot.

I will also admit that the smell of exhaust on race gas is much nce than regular gas though.
