Never pinged again.
Sorry for the hijack.
Dan, as I remember, years ago guys were putting various forms of rocket fuel (Hydrazine? I don't remember.) in their gas. Fuel check stopped that. Pump gas got caught up in the fray. I knew a guy with a 273 2 bbl U/SA car (Mike Smith rip) who ran pump gas until then. Race gas increased his racing budget about 50%. lol But that's another story...

YEAH that is my problem too !!
Going to Stock will be $55 to $100 a day !
Depending on how many runs that day.
Been wonderful filling up the 23 gallon tank with 93.
Works fine for my combination.
Pure Sunoco did not increase HP over the street gas.
Car loses about 5 lbs per run !!
Already have an 8 Gallon tank built.
Will have to add a petcock to drain the 93 out for Bracket racing.
