with the price jumping, if your running 12 to 1 or higher compression, would av gas be a good choice??? I used to run it in my 350X with no troubles.

 

I'm not sure enough to comment on the compression part, But I used Texaco Blue (111 octane) In a pulling truck for a few years with no problems and State record results.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

What is the price of Race gas? And av gas?

I can buy 100 octane at a 76/Phillips station for around $4.75 a gallon. I mix it 2 gals to 3 gals with 92 to keep my 2 strokes from pinging.

 

As long as the octane is there, then you wont have any damage issues. However, AV gas does burn slower - This may affect performance.

 

Can someone explain the difference between AV Gas, and Race Fuel?

 

AV Gas has an additive to keep it from burning fast - so we call can get out of flaming planes faster. Aircraft engines dont need to rev up quickly - so, this does not affect thier performance. However, we do need to rev quickly - at least some of us. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

AV gas can be compared to deisel or kerosene. =]

 

Seriously? dont airplane engines use spark plugs? Im very confused.

 

Alright, that is enough info for me....Stick with the race fuels....I am getting ready to raise my compression, so this is going to get harsh...

 

Scroll down a bit to just above Danger. =]
