Where can I get some at a pump? Theres a station over by Gun Lake that has it but thats too far away for regular fueling.

I am not having any luck on the internet.

The Thunderbird could use a bit higher than the 92/93 when under load hauling the trailer (some spark knock).

I thought that I could get some and mix it in from a pump whenever we will be hauling.

Thanks guys!

FYI it is illegal to pump racing fuel directly into your car in MI. there is no road tax on it. If I where you I would look into a fuel additive you can add to your tank at every fuel up.
I know some people use the Torco additive

Thanks Tim. So how do they sell the fuel I saw at a pump? Is it for boat use only (the station is next to Gun Lake)? Would they sell it to me if I bought it in a 5 gallon can and say it is for boat use?

I buy Cam2 at the Speedway gas station in Mason, its 110 octane but i have been cutting it with 87. My car has 11:2 comp ratio so i only need about 104 octane. I use 3 gallons of 110 and 2 gal of 87, I use 87 because there is not as many additives in it. My car actually picked up a little bit when i did this last year. Just buy 5 gal of 110 and cut as you see fit when when towing. Very Happy

what I used to do was fill up my container drive up the road about a mile and than dump about 5 Gallons into my car. You might get lucky and have a little in your tank for a couple of fill ups. At least I did
