[s-cars] anyone besides me tempted to pump regular gas?

[Joe Pizzimenti]

Hey, say what you want, but the stuff works. It takes water injection to its 
logical conclusion. You can get methanol for $1.75/gallon and with a 2 
gallon reservoir under the hood, you should be good for a full tank. The 
progressive controller they sell also allows for ramping up of target spray 
point so that you can start it as early or as late as you so desire. The 
earlier you start it, the thirstier the car will be and it does come with a 
low level warning light.

It's also programmable via an EMS, but that's only for Happersized users. 
:-)

Either way, it's a great way to get added performance out of crappy gas.
