With Racing fuel @ 5000 RPM in 5th Gear I am going 88-90 mph.
What is it without the high octane gas? Response please.

Thank you,

88-90.

If you are in a specific gear, at a specific RPM, you will always be going the same speed (neutral doesn't count).

Tanq,

See you this weekend. I was trying to research the effect of the racing fuel that I use constantly. I do not recall these parameters for speed according to gear placement and rpm when I was using super unleaded 91 octane. That's all.

Perhaps you should spend your money on some chemistry classes instead of your "high octane gas."

What's that about, Insano? Tan asked a simple question, got a simple answer, and then you want to come in and insult him? I wish CThree would post who you really are...from your posts, its obvious you are the jerk alias for someone on the board.

Tan,

Sorry, I didn't mean to be curt. I was on my way out of work and dropped a quick reply.

I have experimented with high octane gas, too. It seems to help in very hot weather...or at least it felt that way at the track last month.

The benefit of high octane gas is that it is harder to detonate, meaning the ECU won't retard your power to prevent detonation. This means that you will get to a particular RPM faster, but a particular RPM and gear will always be the same speed.

See you Friday,

I reseverve my right to state my opinion on high octane gas. I think it is a waste of money. I think the money could be better spent on many things: school (higher education, driving school, etc.), mods, paying off the car, and the list goes on. I have listed my reasoning on why I don't use high octane gas in previous posts. I attempted to do so in a logical manner using as many facts as possible while making reasonable assumptions. Upon reading the initial post, I was stupefied at the question, and it lacked any reasoning to substantiate the post. Some might even say the question was ridiculous. Perhaps, you should reevaluate some of your posts before being so quick to judge, Mr. Sensitive.

No one asked for an opinion on high octane gas in this thread. As you stated, you've already listed your reasoning on why you don't use high octane gas in a previous post.

Tanq,

Thanks for the replies. I understand your point now about the gears limiting the speed.
Insane thinks that my money should be flushed elsewhere and he might be right. However, the way he states it is a relevation of his character. Like I say in past forums you get so much info on this forum.
