Scottie-GNZ Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Not sure if anyone will find this useful, but when I race I only run with race gas. Here is a chart I found on the web and dressed it up a little and sorted it in order of the Motor Octane (MON) rating. MON is the key octane rating for racing apllications as opposed to (R+M)/2 rating posted on the gas pumps. Those of you running or considering running race gas might find this comparison useful. Especially note the specifications for VP C-16, rated as the best for forced induction. 117-octane is enticing but $7.50/gal, makes you choke. The 3 highlighted ones are what is available in this area other than at the track. The Sunoco Standard is $3.49/gal, so I mix it with the C-16 for about a 110 MON. Crank the boost up and hold on, without worrying. Race Gas Comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I don't know what brand we have at the local station, except the cheaper one is torco. It is 110 leaded for 4.50 a gallon, and there is some 116 leaded at 5.00 a gallon. I like that stuff. The more I mix with 93 super, the more tire spin I get as the boost comes up. Kind of fun to sneak up behind a pedestrian walking and break the tires loose going by them. Usually scares them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 I sure wish I could find race fuel at those prices. Th local track only sells leaded fuel and the only place I found that sells unleaded race gas is only 100 octane and costs $5.75 a gallon...this sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
