I knew what it was... I was just thinking how much I would have had to carry in the trunk when I took that all day ride earlier this month in order to mix it with the fill-ups along the way.

Not only is it not cheap, but it catches fire and explodes easily.

it is less flammable than regular gas! Expensive yes. Instead of running this in my turbo sleds, I switched over to meth injection. Much easier.

But what I was thinking is that the little trunk we have would have to be full of cans of what essentially is Sunoco 260. You know, the old "dial-a-pump" thing that Sunoco had. That would be a PITA, trust me....

These guys are right about trying to run a car with an engine built like that.Once stuck a cam in a big block Chevelle after dialing it in sounded very menacing but oh so sweet.Up until about 4k rpm's it was a dog but once it hit the tires always started to melt.Trying to cruise through town was an absolute pain.Back then we were able to fuel up at Sunoco stations.Around here it is next to impossible to get a barrel of VP fuel.
