Catalytic converters? What are those?

 

The annoying things that us Californians are subjected to

 

Realistically, lets consider what we're talking about here.

Saving a few bucks for an octane boost on a car that isn't designed to save anyone a few bucks.

Get some 100, MS109, whatever floats your boat.

 

I only subject myself to them for a day or two every two years when my smog test is due
The rest of the time they sit in my garage collecting dust.
I just love the smell of race gas and one other thing that was posted many times about this Torco additive is that is has a really strong characteristic smell...I hope it isn't too unbearable.

 

When you try to match 100 on torco to 100 using actual 100 octane fuel... prices aren't such a huge savings.

If you need 48 oz to achieve ~100 octane from 91. You would assume $4/gallon for 91 which is $52 for 13 gallons. Plus 2 cans (using 1.5) - $31 of use, roughly $42 for two cans.

You spend $82 to get ~100 octane when you could have spent $97.50 and had the real deal.

 

In my original post I was saying that I noticed there was no unleaded available over 100 and that is why I was interested in this product. I also can't always get 100 when I go long distances.
I would never suggest using this product as a replacement for true race gas. I am going to supplement my 100octane with it though, in small concentrations. The overall reviews of it are very positive, so why not.

 

Yeah, only a couple pumps here locally, neither are close to me. Its a 35 mile drive to one, and the other you have to bring containers. There are others, but they want 9-11$ per gallon. The two I use are 7.50. One has Sunoco at pump, the other is VP by container. I prefer the VP after TimNYC explained how it atomizes better than Sunoco.

Completely understand your dilemma, though. I've considered ordered 2 x 55g drums to keep in the garage; however, I don't like the idea of having that much fuel sitting in an enclosed space.

 

It is is something that works for you and plan to use it much of the time the 5 gallon bucket works out cheaper.

 

This was in my new GrassRoots MotorSports magazine,,might be worth looking into?

 

I used Torco in the past and it worked ok...I would not TUNE my car based on using the torco but use Torco as an extra insurance.

just my 2 cents

maybe water injection?
