Personally, spending $5 for a quart container of stuff to treat 320 gallons
that I can throw in the trunk and easily squeeze out in one ounce increments
whenever I gas up is infinitely more preferable to storing and mixing
gallons of volatile racing gasoline, inhaling additional fumes, etc. Not to
mention a helluva lot safer and convenient. But, to each his own. I DO
like the idea of an octane boost, though...
