If you want to increase the octane, which isnt even needed for the 235 6 popper,
use one gallon of tolulene (spelling?) to 20 gallons of gas. Unless you get it
for free or cheap, buy a higher grade gas, its cheaper. Most gas additives don't
work as claimed. They don't contain enough tolulene to make a difference. Theres
no reason why a 235 won't run on "Nova", thats the cheap grade of gas in Mexico.
Its octane is about 78 or maybe 80, unlike Magna Sin or No Plomo which means
"no metal" or "no lead" that is about the same octane as American gas.
