Not Ranked
Racing Gas
We do not have the weather extremes that are common to the North East. On several occasions I have in the past ran about 10 gallons straight of Unocal 114 leaded. There is a HUGE difference in throttle response, idle, and all around drivability, it definately smells different and the pipes get that NICE tan color that can't be obtained with unleaded.and your plugs color quickly to aid in asessing your tune up. There are a few Unocal stations locally that have a pump designated for 100 octane unleaded race gas too.
Some of you may remember the old Standard Station/ Chevron White pump leaded @ 103 octane at 43 cents a gallon. That's another story......
Currently 91 octane is the norm for all the stations in our area.
