    Look for the self-service stations. Seems to be more consumer friendly.

    u living in the middle of no where maybe race gas is cheap for u. Long time ago it was $5 a gallon, Id hate to see the price of it now. But for ME its cheaper than race gas, even without buying in bulk

    Around here race gas out here by me is $7.45/gallon. It's Sunoco Blue 112 octane. And yes, it's leaded. Anything over 109 from Sunoco is leaded IIRC.

    probably as lead also increases octane

    there are several 'mix your own race gas' mixtures littered across the internet that i would have no issues with trying. the problem with switching fuels entirely (for me at least) is that i have to know where to get more and that makes it so i cant drive my car EVERYWHERE like i want to.

    you mix it.... for mixing with 92 octane
    XYLENE resultant octane rating
    10% 94
    20% 97
    30% 99


    Buy it in 5 gallon buckets its cheaper or 55 gallon drums way cheaper


    Mixing E85 with 93 works to. I only know 1 place with e85 and thats about 25min away.

    you cant mix e85 and 93 without specifically tuning for it... at least on a max effort setup.
