Toluene

I found a couple of places that have the 100 octane racing fuel. I guess I could mix a couple of gallons with the 91 and be around 94/95. The other alternative is adding Toluene. It's what the formula one cars used to use.

the 76 station in Beverly Hills has 100 octane NASCAR fuel. I think its on Burton or Lower Santa Monica Blvd. near Rodeo drive.

Go to 76.com and search for gas stations with racing fuel using your zip code. But be sure to call first because the website gives misinformation sometimes...

100+ in OC

Corner of Imperial and Yorba Linda there is a 76 station with race gas. 4.25 a gallon. go to the pump that is by it's self and ask for the fast gas key then use your 76 card or any other credit card. This gas makes a differance.

You need 3-4 gallons of 100 octane ($4-5/per) in order to get 92.8-93.4 octane in our 15 gallon tanks.

I use the one off Chesboro off the 101 in Agoura for my 100 octane fuel.

Apparently I'm pretty close to the place that sells Trick 101 (highest unleaded octane race fuel in SoCal IIRC) but I keep forgetting where in is in the Valley.

Toluene anyone???

Cool... I'm glad there's a few places.

Has anyone tried Toluene?? I read an article that you can put a galone or two in a tank and it has a real good effect. It's 121 octane..!!!!

Curious if anyone's tried this...

I thought the WRX tank was 16 gallons? Anyhow, 2gals of 100 octane mixed with 14gals of 91 make 92.1. 4 gallons of 100 to 12 gallons of 91 to get about 93.5 octane.
