I'm considering buying a case of it because I only drive my car on the weekends, and I just Put a nitrous kit on it and want the added safety to avoid detonation. I've used toluene to mix my own fuel in the past also, but am thinking about using this stuff. I hear it's good, but would like to hear from some guys who are using it. It seems easier than mixing toluene or buying race fuel and storing it in my garage. Also where's the cheapest place to buy it ?

I have had very good luck with Torco over the years.

I buy it 5 gal at a time form Lethal.

I put 3/4 can in my car every time I fill up. Can't get 93 octane up here and mine is tuned for 93.

Torco works great.

It will discolor your plugs- they'll be orange.

Guys have been speculating for years that this orange discoloration causes spark plug fouling, O2 sensor fouling, engine problems, etc but I've never actually seen this really happen.

This is good info. Only one station in my area that sells 93. Always wondered what to do on a longer drive and needed to fill up.

Torco is good fuel. Nothing smells better than when you mix some race gas in your tank.

I run a can in every tank of gas. Plugs are hard/impossible to read due the orange dust it leaves behind. Never had any issues with it though.

I buy it direct from Torco on ebay in a 6pack. Think it's about $120 shipped.

Love the stuff. I run a can in my car at the track with the 100 octane tune and it works great.

I used it for years in my Mach 1. Never had any issues and I was making as much as 26 lbs. of boost at times with a twinscrew. Just an FYI though don't believe the octane ratings that Torco lists. I was mixing 32 oz. with 5 gallons of 93 and was only getting 99/100 octane out of it which is about max on what you can get.

Works great. A local orders in 5 gallon drums then 4-5 of us split it into a gallon each.
