The repair cost will more than compensate for the small savings. the other thing to consider, is that you would be cheating the state out of additional taxes, and big brother does not like competition when it comes to cheating and gouging the taxpayer. In my state, they will check for dyed fuel, and it is a 10g fine if caught. just my two cents......

yea Heard all that before ... didnt care then dont care now

This new ultra low sulfer fuel goes thru my John Deere's like water. The red fuel we use off road is $3.89 and the on road for the tri-axle is $4.35/gal. The farm sure is not doing well (drink more Milk) and now my logging business is caught up in the housing slump. Most election years have in the past been good money making times for a business like mine. Not this year. Since most race for "fun" the lack of extra spendable income has to effect our racing venues. I have sat out for a number of years and the way the economy is going it looks like this year will also be a bust. Best of luck to those fortunate enough to get out and race..........
