hybrid fuel
 
there was a thread a long time ago that talked about how to make hybrid fuel...as in like, mix a little of this and a little of that and you have great gas. It was pretty much the budget c16

anyone know where I could find that information

I remember the thread but cant find it.

1 part tolulene (paint thinner) to 4 parts (or was it 5?) high octane. Used to do it back in the day but damn that was years ago.
Not very cost effective in the long run, lest you just want to crank the boost up for a quick jaunt down to the local track. :6

some friends were asking in Okinawa. Best thing they have there is about 95 octane. Yup. Land of the bitchin cars has shitty gas. Go figure.

I'd look on a few Buick forums for "rocket fuel"

Author should be Richard Lassiter, whom I've met in person :)

I buy jugs of Toulene from General Paint [get the membercard %20 off] 5gallon size and mix it with pump 94 octane to come out with 100octane ish.I mix 3.5 gallons of 94 pump to 1.5 gallons of toulene and throw a splash of ATF in for lube.Works great and 5 gallons is good for some rippers and passes at the track then I back the boost or timing off for street duty on straight 94.
