Lower Octane Fuel
I was wondering why the NHRA doesn't allow/approve VP, Sunoco, etc to manufacture a leaded race fuel that is in the 95 to 98 octane range. I know in our situation with a 9:25:1 compression ratio motor, our car would run much more efficient on a lower octane fuel. There has got to be a lot of stockers out there that have lower than 10:0:1 CR and would also benefit from a lower octane fuel. I don't think it would be that difficult to check or am I wrong?

Re: Lower Octane Fuel
What is the octane of the C9 and what does a 5 gal pail cost??
I just priced C10 in SoCal at $72-$82 a pail. Totally obscene!! Two years ago it was $50 a pail out here. Last edited by 7423; 01-22-2014 at 08:18 PM. |

Re: Lower Octane Fuel
Is the C9 VP Leaded or Unleaded?
