Default Sticking it to us

With the next generation of crap gas the state of Ca is forcing down our gastanks, I began testing using a mix of crapgas with race gas and also different types of octane boosters.

I was able to tune out all knock and then decided to run crapgas straight Eccch !

Take a gander of this crap and the results when not tuning out knock due to this ****.

See all the knocks in just a few minutes !

First it's hard enough to see an American ( human or car) in this state and now what the heck those of us with real cars going to do if we have a healthy engine :D

He is refering to 91 Octane. I have not experienced any difference in performance yet, that I can tell.
