It runs exactly the same in my lil' 4-cyl car, but seems to be about .03 quicker with the old 360 Magnum crate motor I had.

We back-to-backed 112 Blue with C12 in Fisher's Mirada, and the E.T. didn't budge -- but it's cheaper, and more stable than the VP.

As with any fuel swap, you may have to play around with jetting to get the absolute best out of it. But, given the research I've done, I choose to run Sunoco Blue 112 full time in everything I have.

For those in the east, call Danny Presnell at Bearden Oil, 800-704-1233, to find a distributor near you.
