sounds reasonable. But the octane is regulated by the goberment. If its off and they get busted I think they are in a lot of trouble. I know there was a thread around here aboot octane boost not boosting the octane enough to matter. I think you have a good plan but I would almost do a 50 50 mix can't go to wrong IMO.
Funny thing is the person in weights and measures for the city is my old Fire Dept. Captain. Wouldn't put it pass him to except a envelope with a little some-some in it. Even if he's on the up and up they only inspect once a year unless something is reported.
Not really wanting to buy racing fuel at $8 to $10 a gallon but its cheaper than blowin a motor cuz the gas ain't 93. Is doll hairs suppose to be dollars???
Don't want to run 105 all summer long unless I had Tom's job than it would be no problem.
Looked at the Race Gas they push on the Power Block shows but it has bad reviews, nothing more than octane boost.
Use to be a gas station by OC drags that sold some type of racing fuel might look into that or see if I can find a VP fuel salesman in the area,

Report them. Just run the 105 tune on track dayz. But I would think if you put 3or 4 gal of 105 in with 5 or 6 gals or 93 you should be ok. To bad there isn't a home test kit for this stuff.

You don't need a high octane tune if your goal is to run safely with a 93 octane fuel but with reassurance that your fuel is actually 93. That's why I said just buy the race fuel. Only get a new tune for high octane if you're going to run exclusively high octane race fuel.

So we are talking about the possibility of moving back to Burlington. We like it in Cedar Rapids but I can't handle the bills myself and it'll be pointless for her to work if she would only happen to cover the cost of day care. So we are talking about it, all our family is there which would make it easy with a new baby, I talked to my old boss and he's still looking for my replacement so he said he'd be really interested in having me back. Plus my house back home wouldn't sell so we'd at least be moving back into a house, all my friends are there who also just had babies, my car buddy's are there. It just seems like the smart decision, I also made more money at my last job too

Isn't it a little early in spring for bug splatter on the front of the car? I took it for a fly down the freeway the other day and I must have ran into a whole bug family. My car was just a mess. It's all good and clean now though.
