Re: octane

Zsolt Kovacs decided to speak these words:

>How is the octane controlled in non-leaded gasoline?


The additive is toluene.  Pure, i think it has an octane rating of 110, 
but that would swell up the seals to the point where it would leak like a 
sive.  Its in the same familily has hexene and such from what i remember 
from the presentation tonight.  

BTW, the only octane boosting stuff that is any good is either toluene, 
lead (this is simply the best if you can find it and dont have a cat), 
and the new one MTT.  Anything else isnt really gonna work, and if it 
does, maybe .2 or .3 points...
