Instead of going with a full tank of 101 for those who can afford it all the time, just mix it untill you get a good 93-94 mixture. This should be the best bet for a stock car!

Plus, it was something like $6.29 a gallon, and they only took cash - no credit cards, so I couldn't have afforded it anyway!

You're probably right though, as most of the unleaded race fuel that I've heard about tends to be of lower octane than that.
Out of curiosity, how high does the octane on unleaded gasoline go to?
