Very poorly, actually. Unless your car has been tuned to take advantage of higher octane, it can make your car run badly. Octane is really just how resistant the fuel is to burning. Higher octane means more resistant. High compression engines (more compressed fuel is easier to ignite before you want it to), or ones with advanced timing (when the spark plug fires in realtion to where the piston is in the compression stroke) need that resisitance to prevent early combustion.
GW, there are a very few octane boosters that really work, but most are snake oil. "Raises octane by FIVE POINTS!!!!!!!!" screams the label. What they dont tell you is how they define a point.
Its not from 87 to 92. Its 87 to 87.5
On topic, the only place Ive bought race fuel was at MIR for the Neon. And yes, it smells VERY good. I had always though folks saying that were saying that like a gearhead thinks tire smoke smells good, a bad smeel that only happens during cool things. But no, its really a pleasant smell, %99 of folks would never think its even a fuel smell.

Ocatane boost is far from racing fuel.
You can get 5 gallons of VP racing fuel at most motorcycle shops that sells dirt bikes. Atlantic Cycle in Waldorf has it, but you are going to pay a premium price. You can also get it in 15, 30 and 54 gallon containers.
Not sure of what they need it for, but VP Racing Fuel has different blends for off-road motorcycles, jet ski's, drag racing, circle track, off road racing, atv, boats, etc, etc, etc...
I have not bought any in about 7-8 years, but contact their Atlantic distributorship center for a closer place that sells it;

Damn.
Didn't know that.
I used to drive up to MIR to get some race gas.
Nice to know.

Gas station by 236 & Rt. 5 used to carry it. Don't know if they still do.
I imagine the gas station right across the street from the track carries it.
My brother-in-laws buy it in 55 gallon drums.

That's who I was talking about in my last post.
