Stop using that now! It does virtually nothing to raise the octane raiting. Do a search, this subject has been discussed several times.

That 104 stuff is virtually worthless boosting at octane.
Use some toluene or hiigh octane race fuel. What octane do you need???

$217 for a 55 gallon drum at my local chemical plant. Is that a good deal, $3.95 a gallon?

You will not buy race gas for 217 a drum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And like what was already said you might just as well buy beer and piss in the tank as buy octane booster of any kind .
