Speaking of Fuels

Why doesn't the NHRA allow a lower octane fuel as an accepted fuel for stock and superstock? We have to run 105 octane and it is just overkill for our application. There are probably plenty of guys out there that could easily go to a lower octane gas. I'll bet our car could easily use a 95 octane gasoline and run as good or better than the high dollar 105 octane stuff.

I know it is a way of the NHRA leveling the playing field for everyone but, I wouldn't think the addition of say a 100 and 95 octane fuel wouldn't be that big of a deal.

The fuels are checked by specific gravity correct?
