So rather than tune on 91, I did some research on NASIOC and a forum full of Grand National guys and looks like a lot of those guys do put some Toulane in their gas tanks as added protection.

Its not too expensive, can be bought at a paint store and adding 1 gallon to every fill up gives you an extra two points on the 'ol Octane scale

Anyone try it?

Of course I would not get tuned on this, but adding it to a full tank of gas is not really a pain in the ass and seems like it has been proven?
