Carlo, I talked to you that night. I got a cheaper solution that 100 octane gas for you it is called xylene. Remember Mario used it, and so did Pat. It is 117 octane, so mix 2 gallons in your tanks. That is what I'll be doing tonight at the tracks if I can get it. We have about 10 1/8th mile tracks here everyone races at, but only 1 1/4 track. It is less than 15 minutes from my apartment so that is good for me. Here are the formulas:
((pump*gallons)+(xylene*gallons))/15.9=
One gallon:
((93*14.9)+(117*1))/15.9
(1385.7+117)/15.9=94.5
Two gallons:
((93*13.9)+(117*2))/15.9
(1292.7+234)/15.9=96
Thow in some Marvel Mystery oil with the xylene. You can get that at wal-mart in a bright red container in the automotive section. Go to Lowes or Home Depot for the xylene. It is about $10 a gallon, and much easier to come by that race gas for me here.
