We have used both the Sunoco and VP fuels. VP may be marginally better but not significant enough to justfy the higher cost of VP.

Either fuel at a 105 octane rating is overkill for our 9:1 motor. It would be nice if the NHRA would allow VP, Sunoco, Rocket, et al to provide a fuel that is 100 octane and 95 octane that is easily checked by the NHRA.
All I am looking for is to use a fuel that will help our car run better.

Does anyone know what the fuel inspector is looking for at fuel check? Specific Gravity? Purity of the Fuel? Other elements?
