yes, im serious…its NOT for my car…
My quad runs on race gas. Last weekend I ran out of race gas and was running 93\* which I HATE doing because 1- its not good for it and 2- theirs a noticable difference in power…
I only need 4-5 gallons of 110-112 octane gas…can I get some octane booster and mix it up with 93 octane? basically “make” my own race fuel sence its out of season right now?
I have never used it before.

No. You can raise the octane with toluene, but it sucks.
Go to [www.airnav.com](http://www.airnav.com), find a local airport and go get some fuel for your airplane that you are building in your garage…

I use it in my Trans Am whenever I get gas…this stuff: 
It actually works for what I use it for, which is to eliminate pinging in the motor, which is essentially what race gas would do.

It barley raises the octane at all.

I notice the motor not pinging when I use that, but if I use straight 93 it pings slightly

Come down to Runway Express in Rotterdam. They had race gas when I was there a few weeks ago. 110 for $8 and 112 for $9.

toluene or xylene will both work… both have an effective motor octane of 112 or higher… but you need to add about 8 ounces of marvels mystery oil to it as well to act as a lubricating agent. and it should NOT be used as more than a 25-30% mixture. ive done my homework on this stuff…
