So I finally made the drive today and put 3 gallons of CAM2 110 High Octane Fuel in my car. Believe it or not, the place near my house sells 100 and 110 at the pump. They also sell 116, but that is sold in 1 Gallon Canisters in the shop. Anyway, I filled the rest of the tank up with Super Unleaded, which is 93 Octane, here in NY and took off.

All I can say is WOW! Not only does the car pull better, but it's totally a different feel. The accelerator pad felt stiffer and when I mashed on the pedal, I got whip lash. Was awesome! What a difference. Not to mention the smell of this fuel. I'm thinking about bottling the smell and saving it in my pantry for when I'm jonsing. Hahahahaha!

At $9.80/Gallon, it ain't cheap, but it is well worth it. For those that haven't tried it yet, but can get your hands on some, I highly recommend it. Just remember...3 Gallons is probably the most you should do. Fill the rest of your tank with Super. If you go with 100 Octane, I was told half a tank mixed with half a tank of Super is fine.

Yeah, I'm over the gas crisis. Hahahaha! Plus, oil just dipped below $100 a barrell finally. That should make the price of gas in this country a bit more tolerable for now.
