Default Re: Impossible MPG ???

After reading this thread today, I decided to track down some 100 octane near baltimore.. I found several listed on the internet. I called to be sure it was a current post and I was assured he had 100 octane. I drove 30 min to find a sunoco and what they had was 100 octane racing fuel. I was a little shocked at the $8.90/gal price. I prayed that it was ok to put in the crossy since I don't know if race fuel is the same as 100 oct reg gas. BUT, I poneyed up $60 and got a couple of gallons.

Holy Crap!!!! I was on empty and within 3 miles it felt like a different car!!! at 85 I could punch it and feel the front pull up hard. The engine really seemed to spin easier and faster. At one point i was going about 95 and I looked down to see my tac at 6500??!! ( Is that ok????) I have a three hour commute home on weekends and today it seemed like everyone wanted to run. We (an audi, a subaru and an acura with a red badge? and ANOTHER crossy, red, maryland tags) had a ball on the long very fast 2+hour ride.

I enjoyed it and I hope the car did too cause at almost $9/gal, i won't be doing it again soon. Although I have a renewed interest in a Eurotune and some other mods. Thanks for reading my story!
