Default WHO ELSE? Race fuel

Who else loves to run race fuel? I love to add race fuel to my super unleaded just because of the smell. Yes I know without adjusting your tune it does not help you. I have EFI live and I adjust my tune based on my fuel.

Without cats on my car the exhaust stinks while idling at a light, but with 5 gals of 110 race fuel added it smells like perfume. My car gets better mileage, the plugs, valves, and exhaust are cleaner.

Yeah it's $52.00 for a five gallon can, but you get a good steel can with the five gallons!

I don't drive my car everyday so I don't really care what the cost is.

I'm going to assume you are aware of the differences in street fuel vs race fuel, as it relates to burn time and engine requirements.......

They used to make a fuel additive that made the exhaust smell pretty, could be cheaper.
