AS USUAL READ THE LINKS AND SUB LINKED INFO

the least expensive route , and short time fix,
is to add about 20% E85 by volume to your fuel tank in any place you can't get enough octane to avoid detonation.

this will allow the engine to run with no detonation, but ethanol can cause corrosion and issues and problems in some older cars
yes you can buy race gas in most cities but expect to pay $7-$9 a gallon in some stores

(use at your own risk, it works fine in my corvette but it might not in yours)
if you want to race the crap out of the car, and get full power w zero issues related to lack of octane

use the info below, it gives a noticeable boost in octane to pump gas

PURCHASE AT PAINT SUPPLY STORE IN GALLON CANS
3 gallons of toluene
1 quarts of mineral spirits

1/2 pint of marvel mystery oil



per 20 gallon take of fuel, so you add to about 15 gallons of pump gas
yes its much more expensive than gas but it will significantly boost octane and YES there's already toluene in your current fuel
yes you could do the same thing to e85 but its already higher octane
 
I thought mineral spirits would lower the octane? Thats more like diesel.
I have heard a recipe like that above, but with methanol instead of the mineral spirits, and it worked ok.
Just curious.
 
the mineral spirits is mostly there as a lubricant
