Well, Yesterday I went to my favorite Union 76 gas station and filled up on SUPER... Today the car ran like crap. It felt down on HP all across the RPM range, and one time, it even backfired as I turned the starter... I'm fooking pissed...  I have a tankful of this chickenshyt dinosaur juice in my tank... Any suggestions as to what to add to this fuel to make it better..? I can't get AvGas... Maybe an Octane booster..? What's the best brand you guys would recommend on the shelves at AutoZone/ Kragen/ NAPA, etc... |

That sucks. I have used 104 Octane Boost but never noticed the brand. I only use Conoco fuel as they are one company who does not use foreign fuel sources.
Screw the Arabs and other countries.

This is from a book I bought last week. Give it a try. Midnight Special says he uses 1 gallon Zylene to 8 of your local highest octane pump gas in his Street Duster. Maybe he'll comment on this. What is Xylene anyway? Not too many people seem to know about it. At the hardware store they will probably tell you that it's a paint thinner. But FireNet International (UK) says it is actually part of our everyday gasoline! Let me quote right out of FireNet's glossary – they define Xylene as “Dimethylbenzene. An aromatic compound having the formula C6H4(CH3)2. Xylene is a major component of gasoline.” When I added 3 oz of Xylene (without Acetone) to my gas tank, it gave an immediate improvement of performance as soon as I started driving. It added more power and it was much harder to kill the engine by leaning the mixture. This, together with the Fuel Warmer, has put me in the 60% fuel economy bracket. Well, according to my ScanGauge-II anyway. So Xylene all by itself can do wonders to raise MPG and reduce harmful emissions. It will even work better when mixed with Acetone and GP-7. I got the Xylene off the shelf at Home Depot, the Painting Department where all the thinners are. It was $13.50 or thereabout for 1 Gallon in a metal can. I haven't seen a half or quarter gallon like other thinners. Ace Hardware in my city did not have Xylene at all. The best source I have found for cheap xylene is Sherwin-Williams - use their store locator at http://www.sherwin.com/store_locator/store.jsp to find a store near you (in the US and Canada). The way to get the best price: the first time you buy xylene, open a merchant account (it's free) and get a gallon for only about $10, or 5 gallon “bucket” for only $9.20 a gallon. That's much better than the regular $13.50 |
