    Cool

    I don't know exactly what gas you were looking at, but I have been involved in motorcycle racing for years. Bikes have very hi compression engines by comparison, usually 11-13:1. I know most racers, the first thing after a race drain the race gas out of their tanks & system, then fill it with pump gas. I don't know how true it is, but I've always heard race gas is VERY corrosive to the fuel system. Just my observation and 2 cents.

    It is very likely to be corrosive. Just open that link to wikipedia & see the stuff they add to boost the octane rating.

    The only thing worse would be to add acetone - sorry wrong thread.

    My car has 12:1 compression, yet there is no performance gain from gas above 93 octane . The ecu is not programed too adjust to anything higher . I have yet to get any engine knock from 93 octane .

    The VX always gets 87 octane . Now if it was super charged I would definitely try higher octane gas.
