I have been using it for many, many years and in my experience it works well. FWIW, the bikes are injected and have cats, no problems. In fact, seems to keep things very clean. Since the castor is a lubricant I think I will try it when I get the crickets, who knows, might help. |

Annd the winner is... @SCQTT! 80% of the perceived loss is due to altitude was the original meaning. Maybe I was wrong anyway.

You: you can be right 20% of the time .... and I'll be right 80% of the time Her: Nope You: OK, You can be right 80% of the time .... and I will be right 20% of the time? Her: Nope You: OK, what % of the time can I be right? Her: Depends on what % of the time you want to be happy ...... If you don't want to believe that ...... check back with me in five years ..... humfrz |

I thought you were talking about mixing different types of fuel. That's also done quite a bit. As I said, most pump gas in the US I've seen is up to e10 (10% ethanol) anyway. Usually there's a disclaimer saying so at the pump. Maybe I don't understand the problem? |

Not so much questioning the action of mixing but the portions of mixing. For example... 8 gallons of 91 octane, mixed with 3 gallons of 100 octane... how much octane would that total. I honestly haven't heard mixing with 100 octane being a problem or not, just looking for peoples experience.
Edit: I did come across a conversion chart, that may have answered my main question.

I would talk to your tuner about logging your car and checking it out first. You may not even need 93, 91 may be perfectly fine.
