Racing fuel ingredients
I used to get racing fuel at a special pump at my local 7-11 type convience store. That was in 2000 year. Used it in the dirtbike motorcycle. Sold for 3.00 a gal back then. I think it was 105 octane.
What was in it to boost the octane?
Who knows which oil company makes the best Racing Fuel for cars these days?
I've heard its Toluene can be added to unleaded fuel to obtain octane boosts ... is this fact or BS?

I pay $35 for a 5-gallon pail of Xylene and Toluene is not sold to private individuals here because of DEA interest in meth production pre-cursor chemicals...
You can buy a delivered 55 gallon drum of Xylene for $211, making your per gallon price $3.87...
