    When I get back to the house I add 8oz. of pure acetone to the full tank.

    If I had access to non-ethanol 87 gas it would be all I used.

    Agreed Ivan - we have 88 octane at most stations here in UT, but it’s 40-50 cents more than regular 85 octane. They call it “clear gas” (blue pump handle), and I use it exclusively in all my small engine power equipment, and I put it in my truck that sits for long stretches now that I have a company car.

    Wow! 30% more expensive to get 2 to 4% better mpg. No thanks. I would buy it for my mower and snowblower though.

    All my small motors get 93 octane 100% gas here. Until a few years ago I was unaware that the mountain region had way different octane ratings in their gas due to altitude.

    As in lower octane ratings in the higher altitudes?

    Yes

    That makes sense, due to the lower O2 atmos content.

    Ive been adding acetone for years.
    The molecule has multiple benefits.
    It is a liquid propane with it's own double bonded oxygen so adding it to petrol increases high altitude combustion.
    But the main reason is relieves all the H-H bonding between all various hydrocarbons, providing complete combustion.
    I changed my plugs at 100k miles on both my GDI engines and the piston tops were spotless.

    I don't know about all that. My little towns altitude starts at 2600ft and we have 93 oct.

    Weird winter we've had so far. Warm, cold, warm, cold..... Wicked storms in the south and tons of rain out west. :|

    Any damage to buildings? Anybody hurt? How about your home?

    We're good, just high winds. One of my sisters lives in Little Axe. Bunch of damage there, but she's ok.

    With this many warm days this winter, I've gotten a lot done outside. My work days are about 4 hours long. Retirement and old age combined are nice. I did work 5.5 hrs. on the front door removal, and the new door was installed 80% yesterday. :D

    This week I started the replacement of my 73-year-old front door. I knew it would be challenging, so I waited till my hands healed from digging on that tight side of the barn shed, and then my body also recovered from carrying that door into my house.

    I forgot, I had a cold for a week too before I started. Not bad, but I was very weak. The more I work on this door swap, the stronger I become. B)

    3 beautiful partial days on the door swap now. Believe me, it's been a challenge, though.

    The darn electric bill jumped up a lot, even with all these warm days mixed in. :s

    Headphonesty memes suck donkey ****. You do know that they mock the hobby, right?

    I haven’t found 93 around here. Best near me is 91.

    Same here, we's at 7,200' and no 91.
    Our low octane gas is 85.
