That would be great alcoolaid.

So I've been running the shell 91 for a few weeks now in the Evo IX and though the car still knocks a bit at redline however it's generally more stable than the Chevron 94 which would knock more often. My CEL is set to flash via Tephra v7...slow flashing for knock for counts of 3 and below and fast for counts above 5. Thus far the light has only been flashing slowly for a second at 7k where as it used to flash quickly on the 94 around 4500-5000 rpm and 7k as well. I did some logs initially but it really wasn't a true back to back comparison so I want to evaluate it again this weekend to be as objective as possible. I only have about a quarter tank left of Shell 91 so I'll do some logs tonight and run out the tank and then put some Chevron 94 this weekend to see what's going on. Every time I fill up with the shell 91 the car just feels better coming out the station...runs smoother in traffic and pulls cleaner when I'm on it.

As of a couple days ago I put just under 4L of methyl-hydrate in with a 3/4 tank of shell 91 and the car pulls great. Some of the guys used to do this back in Trinidad because of the shitty gas and have been getting away with as much 10L to a tank for years without and negative effects....I'll have to run out this tank properly if the comparison is to be truly objective. Sorry for the delay guys, but I'll get the logs up as soon as possible.
