Has nothing to due with octane rating...race fuel is a pure/dedicated blend. doesn't have all the junk in it. When i take apart a street engine compared to a race-fuel engine, the race-fuel engine is wwaayyy cleaner compared to the street engine. guys will pop by & see this & say, wow that race engine is happy, i'll tell them it's not really any more 'happy' than the street engine just looks that way because the street engine's pump gas fuel is so full of garbage (additives) the fuel it self isn't allowed to do it's job were the race fuel can, race fuel only has 'one' job. i'm sure lots of you guys have walked by a car running race fuel & know the smell, well think about that compared to a pump gas vehicle, they smell brutal, makes a guy wanna puke. what your smelling is all the extra pollution emission crap in that pump gas fuel. i'm short on time but that's a quickie expanation.

Well, I've come across some skanks in my life. But race gas always has the sweet smell.

Real gearheads use C16 for aftershave.
