- The grade fuel you run in any engine depends on the engine you have in the car. A stock 260 or 289 in the Tigers should run very well with regular gas. The stock engine in the Tigers were low compre

- There is another way to get the hi-end fuels....It's called aviation gas. In the past, when I was building drag bike engines, we used to go out to our local air field where all of the private planes

- The two octanes you refer to are research octane and motor octane, not manufacturers. The motor octane method requires comparing the test fuel in a very specific motor design against a gas standard s
