Race gas ultra claims one can plus 4 gallons of 89 make 110. Not that I would want to race with it, but maybe for tooling around town.. Most opinions ive read are from people who've never actually used it. Any real world experiences?? Thanks 2 kids and a dog

They don't necessary need race fuel, but with the crappy pump gas I have issues on hot days with pure pump gas boiling. So I end up mixing pump/race gas to help bring the boiling point up so I don't have issues. It's cheaper for me to buy race gas than it is to buy the concentrate.

It was easier to carry 2 gallons of this, than multiple jugs of race gas for the drives. It seemed to work well. No real signs or detonation, but then again, he was easy on the throttle while driving down the road. It was just insurance, since the 392 has 13:1+ compression. The stuff was very toxic. You don't dare get it on your skin, and we had to use a metal mixing cup, after the first use, as the stuff melted the plastic cup we first had. 69 GTX 68 Road Runner

I'll let you know how it works. For me, its not about saving money, its about availability. If the concentrate works, it will just be nice to have easy access to fuel to cruise around on the street without any detonation issues. Ill put the real stuff in at the track. 2 kids and a dog
