      yeah, it's probably not worth it unless you're running a full blown race setup w/ higher compression, turbo etc etc, but I doubt it'd hurt anything either.

          I know one time I was talking to Marcin (Turbo1G) and he was saying that his friend with a 323 and BP swap had advanced the timing to 15 degrees or so, and put in race gas and ran a 15 or mid 15 or something like that.

          Anyway if it is a 2 part gas to 1 part race gas, then you would have to run 2 liters of gas (pump) to 1 liter of race gas.. but anyhow I don't think you should put it in the car and take the chance. It's not worth it unless ur in a hurry to do a motor swap. Don't take the chance. Your better off running super and advancing your timing to 12 or 14 degrees.

            Is the leaded-ness why it smells different?

                  why do you want to put this stuff in your pro anyways? it woun't give you anymore performance even if it woun't hurt anything. engine timing needs to be done to benifit from higher octane gas in a N/A engine

                    Just to clear this up,

                    1 gallon is equal to 3.8 Liters.
                    So 1 liter is equal to about 0.26 gallons

                      1 liter is 2.6417203 gal

                      from my phone btw:
                      1 gallon us = 3.785412 L

                      someone double check this

                          the reason i know this is because here in puerto rico we buy gas buy the liter.

                          When I came to live down here I thought that gas was real cheap until i got to the damn pump!! LOL

                          It was 35 cents a liter not a gallon!!

                            why does my phone give me that 2.64.. I checked another site and it said .264

                            there is a E-1 at the end.. what the heck is that?
                            This is what the phone gives. 2.6417203E-1

                              that's the decimal place (it means move the decimal 1 place to the left)
                              The way the answer is given to you on your cell phone is called scientific notation.

                                so do not mix 100 octane low-lead with unleaded at all? There isn't anything you can add to it or anything to make it not hurt the motor?
