I just got a tank full of 101. Anybody in socal down to do some test runs? 5thirty5 club chime in.
Some racing fuels (100 Octane and higher) still have tetraethyl lead in them. If you are running a catalytic converter, it will destroy the converter and can cause serious engine damage.
Here's the mix I have done in the past:
110: 3 Gallons (the rest being standard 93)
100: Half tank (the rest being standard 93)

A full tank? Yikes! I hope you don't melt your catalytic converter.

Really? Well I had about 1/8 of a tank of 91.
I guess I can put in a little more later in the day.
Thanks C
