Default 93 Octane Mobil W/Additive

[SIZE="1"]I use 93 Octane Mobil and add two bottles of Torco Fuel additive. I am Getting between 105 - 107 octane.
Yes I notice a difference!
My car has been tuned and the Low octane restrictions and Torque restrictions have been turned off...
This still costs about 17.00 per bottle.
So I guess you can say I am paying about $5.25 per gallon.
But she is running like a True Machine!

-93 Octane Fue $3.40---$3.80 Per Gal

-Torco racing Fuel additive $17.00 per bottle

-C6-Z06 running 105-107 Octane---PRICELESS![/
SIZE]

Shell - Why wasn't this a selection in the voting poll?

Also Shell, not represented in the poll, which as many have already said is a top-tier recommended fuel by BMW, GM, etc. I don't think the polls around here tell us anything accurate. I can't know the results on this one, without lying.

The same is true of all polls around here. Since you can't see the results without voting, the format creates a motivation to vote to satisfy curiosity. Thus, the curious voyeurs who have nothing to vote for make a vote up, just to see the results. On most polls, I suspect many non-owners end up voting just to see the results.

Maybe if you're coming from 87 octane.

Thanks, I didn't know that, and if I didn't, many others didn't either. I was more making a point about reasons why polls around here are inaccurate. Most are poorly constructed as was this one.

yes, and i think that kind of goes without saying. polls are to be taken with a grain of salt.

the last poll i posted was about what color i should choose. no salt needed on that one
