Better fuel economy is about all you'll see. It's normally at pumps for "collector" cars and small engines.rfoll wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 10:50 am This gasoline has recently showed up at 2 gas stations nearby for about $4.00/ gal. Is there any advantage to using this in terms of power and knock resistance? Without the alcohol it would seem like the fuel would have a slightly higher BTU. One of the local racers swears by it, but then he told me it was 97 octane, tainting his opinion somewhat.
Sunoco GT100 unleaded . sold at a few Sunoco stations. Sold as "Cam2" at a few Delta Sonic stations too.swampbuggy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 11:26 am I wish to heck at least one of the major petro. companies would offer a 100 pct. gas in the area of 98 octane for performance street engines and motorcycles, can i get a witness ?

93 would be cheaper if they'd stop making 87 and 89. And a lot of modern cars would get better fuel economy to boot.swampbuggy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 11:26 am I wish to heck at least one of the major petro. companies would offer a 100 pct. gas in the area of 98 octane for performance street engines and motorcycles, can i get a witness ?

I have an older riding mower that quit running well...found all the fuel hoses hard as a rock and carb internals corroded...mark_follweiler wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 12:20 pm there is sooooo much interweb BS about 90% fuels. I run 93 10% junk in my 11.8 SBC and no issues at all. also run junk 87+10% in ALL my lawn stuff, never any problems.....flame on!
I could not agree more. Alcohol blend is scapegoat for a lot of maladies.mark_follweiler wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 12:20 pm there is sooooo much interweb BS about 90% fuels.
