    I've been using Shell or Mobil 93, I'll have to try BP.

    BP, Exxon/Mobil are both great. Shell seems to have the highest ethanol content.

    Ok so today the car didn't feel as powerful as it did the day before. The only thing I did was fill it up with 94 Octane with 10% ethanol. Any ideas??

    I've never liked the BP fuel before, but know if I run anything else my plugs are shot. Some companies must be putting a funky additive in the fuel to make the plugs turn the colors I'm seeing
    Winning may not be everything, but its still better than losing

    I don't know you. I don't know what have done. If you are looking to talk up a race for 3 hours, I can tell you I don't have the time. But what I do have are a very particular set of parts; parts I have acquired over a very long career. Parts that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you go home, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not punk you. But if you don't, I will punk you, I will race you, and I will embarrass you.
