The cost differential with $4 a gallon regular gas makes it seem like such a value.

I remember when Clinton was in office, gas was less than $1 and $5 seemed so expensive for race gas. 5x the cost!

Now an extra 33% gets you race gas.

If you want, you can just use toluene (I think its 116 octane). Its a paint thinner found in some Sherwin Williams paint stores (I think about $10-9 per gallon). I've used it a lot of times on my old turbo s2000 and worked great. If you are in southern california I have 4 gallons of it if you want to pick it up.
