I have been using torco race fuel accselarent for 8months now no prob 125ml for 18 lt of 98 fuel brings it up to 100 octane, car runs smoother and quiter . works out about $5.00 extra for each 18lt. mx store online sells it for $35.00 for 900ml. 2 cans free delivery.

"Many refiners, blenders, and distributors of racing gasoline sell and supply a “street legal” high octane unleaded gasoline blend that complies with the specifications for California RFG. This complying high octane unleaded gasoline is readily available and is legal for use in all motor vehicles both on and off road. Retailers may sell this high octane “racing” gasoline as complying California RFG."

Most likely it's the lead content in"racing" fuels of higher than 104 octane. However, I don't have the exact blending requirements, so can't comment on this in general. MY take is that the only reason manufactured sell unleaded race fuel is for use in street cars, or for competition classes that do not allow leaded fuels. Lead will foul your O2 sensor of ran for too long, and will destroy your cats. If catless, no problem running low leaded fuel every now and then. Just don'e breath the smoke... There's a station in Pasadena that sells 76 100 octane. VP also sells GT104 which is unleaded. However, your better off saving use of these expensive fuels for when you actually have a track event. Sure, you may be able to feel it on the street, but at the cost of increasing your fuel budget for 50% or more? is it really worth it? Xylene is not cheap either, but will work if you can't get access to commercial blended fuels. Keep in mind that you can't really store it that long though, since Xylene is very volatile. Basically you need to put it in your tank at the pump, then pump in gas to mix it all up. Car will run fine on 91.

yes that is correct i fill 18lt for the correct mix ratio or i do 36lt with 256ml brings it up 2 octane levels higher. i use half the recommended dose . instead of raising it 4 octane higher , i only go 2 octane higher. its all clearly marked on the cane..note this is not a addertive for fuel. it is a race fuel and can be run straight full strength with the right tunning ofcorse. hope that explanes it better.im not after more power with this product just to help stop knock with ausy crappy fuel.

Unless your vehicle is tuned to run a higher octane, there are no benefits using higher octane over the factory minimum standard.
This is a statement from the federal trade comm. http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles...ctane-gasoline |

Factory minimum is not the same as factory recommend. Knock sensors help ecu adjust settings to cope with different fuel.
