They produce the stuff in Venezuela and the government is (may have changed recently) socialist toward the Marxist end if the spectrum. I actually thought their petrol was free but perhaps that was to selected poor groups or I am misinformed. 17c is still absurd.

You can also use toluene for a cheaper boost. Though you don't want to breathe it as it may f**k you up. V8s can run perfectly well on regular unleaded without booster.

At the moment here in US the price of petrol is .875 a liter...or $3.50 a gallon for ultimate.




You're bloody joking right? Why are we bitching about $1.50/L?

Pretty soon it will be cheaper to run your car on beer.

Where do you get it? And how do you measure it to work out the RON boost you get?

Mitre 10.

You can also use XYLENE which is 118 (RON+MON/2). Running a practically straight xylene and toluene mix with a little bit of acetone - i've seen some very good results.

But be prepared to pay $10-$18 a litre though.

Not recommended for long term use, both chemicals are on the list as possible carcinogens so wear gloves when handling.
