I just heard that song yesterday and you just reminded me...
hopefully you have a MBC and can turn it down a little bit. take some race gas or a 5 gallon drum of toluene just to be safe imo.
as for the toluene, im going to buy some every time i hit a large city because i know the smaller cities wont have any...
Dude don't drive your Evo to Mexico! The gas sucks and the roads are worse then the gas. Why not rent a car or borrow one.
, so if something happends down there il be able to recover from whatever, i mean its only a car...
I did it all for the Nookie, the Nookie" LOL J/K

so i would never use the low octane

that would actually work for me, because i would put 1/2 bottle every tank full and that would bump my octane to atleast 93-94...
but i mean has this stuff been proven, i know torco is a reputable brand but is this stuff for reals? thats a high jump out of a little bottle...
