avgas
does anyone know of a problem running aviation fuel in our cars?? vs race gas... I know it is leaded and bad for O2 sensors, but is that the only downside?
I can get it for about $0.25 more than 93 octane here and it is 100-103 octane... I am thinking about buying a 50 gal drum and running it 50/50 so I can run more boost on the street without having to worry about not having good enough fuel...
one guy I know told me he ran it in an 8 sec mustang, and it didnt work verry well under acceleration, he said it only worked well under sustainded steady throttle (i.e. highway driving)?? I cant imagine why?
leme know what you guys think

What is this crap?
Re: avgas (Drag3GSR)
is the octane of the avgas rated the same as the stuff for cars? cars are RON+MON/2. RON and MON are 2 ways of measuring fuel's ignition properties. aircraft engines are always under steady state loads, so the fuel may be refined for different properties and no good for driving.

Re: avgas (falconGSR)
We used avgas for some support equipment in the navy when we didn't have diesel around.. and the thing's would smoke like a mother.. not good for your car.. stick to automotive approved race gas or highest octane you can find and octane booster..
