I put some thinner in my tank. This was in my 91 Integra. I used 12 gal of 93 octane and a cup of the thinner. *I only tried this once so I'm not an expert at all.
Any difference? ah a little I guess...When I put my foot down it ran smoother at the high RPM's vs just with 93 octane. The only modifications on the car was cold air intake and a fuel pressure regulator. I never had a knocking problem with the car prior to this. But then again I could have just thought it felt better. I have not tried the thinner a second time. Why? It just don't seem right to me.

I read here that some one puts it in there mustang on a regular basis but I not sure who. It is totally up to you. I AM IN NO WAY SUGGESTING YOU DO THIS!!! Just telling you what I did.
