Hoping to make it to dyracuse mx park saturday... the gas station by my work have 110 octane leaded race fuel at the pump.. for 6.49 a gallon.. would it be worth it to mix in a gallon? I mix 4 gallons at a time.. only have 91 at the pumps here.. so i figure of i mix 3 gallons of 91 with a gallon on 110.. it should help keel my motor cooler.. since leaded fuels lubricate also ;) ...... input???
 
Not nessisarly worried about octane more or less lookin at the added cooling from the leaded fuel... i run hard at dyracuse.. well i do ether way... i dont now anything but WIDE OPEN THROTTLE!!! The trails there are a loose sand dirt mix..
 
A 50/50 mix will work good. The lead in the gas acts like a lubricant farther protecting your engine from wear. High amounts of lead like you would get running it strait, tend to make plugs foul easier. The 50/50 will increase the octane to a safe level for your need and give you the benafit of extra lubacation without the added risk of plug fouling.
 
Thats what i was hoping for ;) my machine is still a bit rich but im ok with that.. i just would really hate to cook a motor almost 2.hours from home... i ran my blaster there on a 75 degree day and.it was.fine im sure my water.cooled.lt will ne fine
