That is a smart move. The only item harder to find around here is Isopropyl Alcohol.

You would think that with the supply being
high and the demand being about zero
the price would drop . Like any other
commodity. But since it not a raw material
that doesn't apply
Not that it has anything to do with this
post but regular gas is .99/gal here
in SW Ohio

I have always assumed that the cost of the crude oil required was a much smaller percentage of the cost to produce pump gas than it was to produce racing gas.

Is that true?

I use C11. It's not good for anything.........other than going fast. I'll probably try using C12 on my next computer dream date.

Pro tip: My wife is a Latina so she is higher compression than normal thus the use of C12. You don't want to throw a rod at higher RPMs and knock out the bottom end.
