So on speedway motors site they have a fuel scent additives such as bubble gum, watermelon, alcohol, and grape?? This sound a little fruity to anyone? and wonder if it really works? Go to your local dirt track. The stands at ours smell like grapes all the time from the cars.

Octane rating is the numerical measure of the anti-knock properties of motor fuel. The higher the number value, the stronger the resistance to detonation. There are two common methods of obtaining octane ratings. The research method gives a higher octane number, but is mostly applicable to low-RPM, low-load situations. The motor method gives a lower reading but is more pertinent to high-RPM and high-load usage. The average of the research and motor method (R+M)/2 is called the anti-knock index or road octane.
Listed below is a comparison of 4 Different brand of race fuels 110 and 112 Octanes. Hope this can help you when you're trying to determine which is the best for your engine.
Turbo Blue 110 (R+M)/2= 110 Research Octane= 115 Motor Octane= 105
VP 110 (R+M)/2= 110 Research Octane=113 Motor Octane= 107
Dragon 110 (R+M)/2= 110.5 Research Octane= 113 Motor Octane= 108 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turbo Blue Advantage 112 (R+M)/2= 112 Research Octane= 116 Motor Octane= 108
Rockett Brand 112 (R+M)/2= 111 Research Octane= 116 Motor Octane= 107
Dragon Racing 112 (R+M)/2= 113.5 Research Octane= 117 Motor Octane= 110
All VP shows for their C12 is Motor Octane which is 108.

just curious as to why you didnt list the specific gravity?

Post by BuzzKillRubber on May 14, 2013 20:19:33 GMT -5
Specific Gravity
The Specific Gravity of any substance is the ratio of its weight to the weight of the same volume of water when both are weighed at specified temperatures. For example, if a gallon of gasoline weighs 6.15 pounds at 60 degrees F. and a gallon of water weighs 8.33 pounds, the specific gravity of the gasoline would be 6.16/8.33, or 0.7383. It is important to consider the Specific Gravity of each gasoline before switching brands or grades in order to make the necessary jet changes to compensate for the difference in density. Denser gasolines (higher specific gravity) require smaller jets to keep the same air/fuel ratio.
All of these are at 60 degrees F....
Turbo Blue 110= .742 112= .719
VP 110= .720-.735 112= .717
Dragon 110= .720 112= .720
Rockett 112= .726
