Should I even consider running APR's 93 octane program on 92 octane gas?

If not, how much toulene do you guys recommend I add to each tank full to raise the octane level from 92 to 93?

Default I run the 93 on 92 all the time. You'll want to make certain you don't ping on it.

Each car is a bit different ... might want to stay on top of carbon build up too.

Default You can hear (audible) ping . .sounds like marbles rattling in a metal can. You should run a couple

of warm weather 3rd gear pulls from low rpm to redline and log (VagCom) the knock sensors and timing pulls to be sure all is well.

Default You could also run a little tolulene until you get some logging done.

Tol should be 114octane so the 113 graph should work fine for mix ratio. For 100 octane race fuel blended into 92 pump you can use teh 100 oct graph.<ul><li><a href="http://www.klotzlube.com/support/tech_information/ratio.html">http://www.klotzlube.com/support/tech_information/ratio.html</a</li></ul>
