I went out to VIR last weekend to see the races and filled up with 100 octane lead-free race fuel they have at the track. Quite an experience just filling up. At 7.50 a gallon, I maxed my credit card charge for the fuel at 75.00 for the first 10 gallons, and there were still 5 more to go!

The car seems to sound different with the 100 octane, both at startup and when driving. For example, I think it's gurgleing more than normal when slowing down. Its hard to tell with my butt dyno if it is making much of a difference. Seems to run faster at higher rpms, but if it is, it is not a day and night difference. Interesting experiment, but I think its expensive to try again,
