    Default Fuel

    Who's running what? I thought I was going to have to switch my pulleys around since I wasn't having much luck finding race fuel locally. That was until I went to the dirt track last night. 114 @ $7.25 per gallon, and she sells it by the gallon. No drum fees. I'm stoked. Blend the 114 with a little 93, and run all day long.

    No shit. By my calculations:
    114 at $7.25/gl X 35 gl = $254
    93 at $4.09/gl X 35 gl = $143

    Total = $397 for 70 Gallons for 104 octane, at $5.67 per gallon. I guess its not too far off base.

    If I tried to get 110 by blending the two, I would need a 4:1 ratio of fuel.

    It would be:
    4 gallons of 114 @ $7.25 = $29
    1 gallon of 93 @ $4.09 = $4.09
    Total per gallon = $6.61
