Lower Octane Fuel

njk53 · 01-22-2014, 04:33 PM

I was wondering why the NHRA doesn't allow/approve VP, Sunoco, etc to manufacture a leaded race fuel that is in the 95 to 98 octane range. I know in our situation with a 9:25:1 compression ratio motor, our car would run much more efficient on a lower octane fuel. There has got to be a lot of stockers out there that have lower than 10:0:1 CR and would also benefit from a lower octane fuel. I don't think it would be that difficult to check or am I wrong?
