Anyone try racing fuel in their G?

I stopped at a station that had some a few months ago but the $7+ dollar/gallon price tag changed my mind pretty quick. I went with the 93 instead. Compared to the 91 standard here in OK that I usually run I might have felt a slight performance increase. Maybe if I autoX this summer I'll try the 101.

I doubt the computer will adjust timing to a noticable degree to improve your performance with that high of an octane. Unless you have maps to adapt to those octane levels it is a waste of money. I do run 93 since that is what high octane is here. The Viper is mapped to it and does make a difference. The G, doubt it cares if it is 91 or 93.
I can't recall the specific detail but I do recall that more harm can come from running that high of an octane (100+) in a "normal" car. May have been a lack of proper fuel burn since the car does not have a high enough compression ratio.

Don't put too much in, Theres a station that sells 100 near me for 7.80 and sometimes I'll put 3-4 gallons in. The nice thing is you can smell the race gas burning. Its good for cleaning out the injectors too.

I am sure a quick google search will provide more expert information, I am mostly going from memory. And I am sure my opinion is an over simplification of the issue. Regardless, it is a waste of money to run over 91/93 octane. It may be "fun" but it is costly.
