The Honda guys use it. No use for us as its like $30/gal. More useful in an all motor set up.

suppose to be good stuff. with the cost of $33 a gallon. 10% increase in power.

I would thinks its worth it to try to get that extra tenth of a second. Cool to see they come up with new ideas everyday.

Interesting...wonder what the anti knock properties are?
At $30 a gallon, it would cost at least $60 just to get it tuned!
Think I will stick with my corn!

Probably has nitro in it. How can it produce that much power?

Oxygenated. Similar to Q16 and all the other heavily oxygenated fuels. The chemistry of the fuel carries O2 molecules into the chamber along with the fuel. 10-15% gains are not unheard of.
