Racing gas?

Biff Grissel · 08-13-2012, 09:23 PM

Does anyone have any stats or ideas about how much gain/ difference 100 octane makes for our trucks compared to the CA tree hugger 91oct? Just curious becuase I can def feel my truck runs better and throttle response is improved but it ain't cheap and its gotten to the point where I really don't use other gas now! Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

I use to drop some race gas in my AMG and there was definitely a noticable difference. I was planning on talking to my tuner when I get my programmer to make a race gas tune for me when I go to the track. Not sure of the additional power you are getting but I can do some logging or do some dyno pulls with some race gas on the stock tune to find out for you. Id be really curious of the gains from just splashing of magic juice in these things.

I used 103 octane gasoline many times at the Willow Springs Raceway in CA tracking my E46 M3. It’s not worth the money IMO. Gains are not substantial to justify $8.50 a gallon. Your money will burn faster for sure LOL!
