gas issue!! (HELP)
I get 101 trick racing fuel for 4.69 by the gallon or discounted when i get 55 gallon drums. Sherman Williams sells toluene for 5.XX per gallon when u buy a 5 gallon jug of it. Here is a mixing chart for 100 octane and 91. Before I used strictly 101 octane for the evo I was mixing 2 gallons of Toluene with 12 gallons of 91 octane. Worked great.

If you are mixing Xylene or Toulene in excess of 10% I would recommend adding in a lubricant such as Automatic Tranny Fluid. Also, gas companies already use these chemicals to raise the octane level of gasoline to begin with. As long as the aromatic content (Xylene or Toulene) of the mixture does not go above 46% I believe it is, it is still defined as gasoline and perfectly safe to use in your car. Considering that the proper amount of lubricant is added to the mix in addition to the chemicals.
Here is a fuel blending calculator.

I lived in Nova (VA) for 6 years. Rain and ****ty weather everyday. the best thing is Sanco 94 gas for $1.97 every day in McLean. However I never found 100 there of the pump. Here in Ca 100 is of the pump for $5.19
. (crazy). however, the weather the beach is well worth it.

76 stations here in Vegas have 100 at the pump for 3.95. I put 3.5 gallons, then fill with 91. Much easier to pump it right in and be on your way. I totally feel a difference over just straight 91.
