Thinking about getting 2 bottles and putting 1 in each Camaro as they both have some older gas in them and it shows when driving the SS.

I've used it before, no ill effects, was just using it as a precautionary when I picked up the IROC in Ohio....

Just go to Sunoco on the Chesapeake side of IR, and put like 5 gallons of 100 Oct in the cars. Sure it'll cost you about $70 bucks, but its better than the shit in the stores.

100oct is Unleaded and street legal, the 110 they have there is Leaded and not legal for street use. They have 2 pumps, both cost the same, $6.999 per gallon.

I ran the 100 all the time in my Buick T-Type a few years ago, of course it didn't have cats anyway, so sometimes I ran 110 when I wanted just a tad more boost.

Z Max dude. :ROFL:


Sea Foam is what I use. Plus you get the bonus of a smoke show when you run it out.

Higher octane sounds good but the gains are so low to be worth the $7/gal price tag. Really only helps when needed for high compression engines. Most buy it just for the smell.

I was thinking more to offset his old gas that's been in his car for the last year, the 93 that was in it is probably like 80 octane by now, especially with how fast ethanol degrades. So a few gallons of 100 would bring it back up. I bet the KR is horrendous in that car.

Travis. The major problem with letting fuel sit is now with the amounts of ethanol in gas they seperate. I have seen it affect my boss' dirt bike in as little as two months. Stabil claims that there ethanol treatment will repair seperated fuel. I would throw some in, top it off with 93, and call it good.

The gas in the cars now has Stabil in it as I put Stabil in them awhile ago. I went out and bought some Chevron Techron Fuel System cleaner and am going to use that and fill the cars with 93 octane and drive them and see what happens. I'm thinking driving them to VMP and back will help get some new gas threw them both!
