damned good deal.

Does anyone know the exact octane of this torco additive? So I can calculate what my benefits with 91 will be.

you should be able to calc. 10 gal of 93 + 1 qt of torco = 104 . . .

though they do say it's NOT an octane booster. it's race fuel concentrate so a normal

weighted average may not apply?!?

if it did, and the mix i mentioned is correct (10 gal 93 + 32 oz Torco = 104(i read it yesterday and didn't reconfirm)), then the Torco is "544" octane. in the same mix w/ 91, this would yield 102 octane fuel.

I calculated the same thing- .24/oz per before shipping. About $7.5 for 32oz or one tank...

which really isn't too bad.

Even if shipping is $50 it would $10 a tank you would get 20 tanks worth. Not too shabby really.

I am going to get five gallons and do some logs.

Group buy?????

shipping is included in that price too.

I get my toluene for about $7.50 a gallon. Even with it's 114 octane rating, I only using 1 gallon per fillup. That nets me not even 93 octane. This torco might be the more cost-efficient and an improvement in performance.
