That is in the same vein as people mixing oils; the home hotrodder outthinking engineers and oil companies who have spent many years and bazillions of dollars developing additive packages.
But hay, whatever turns your crank.

I think we agree?, I can come off sometimes being serious when I'm not.
"Racers" certainly have cause for increasing octane ratings. Drag in my thinking.
As far as a regular old flathead, MMO shots in the gas never hurt. Pertaining to fuel in my flathead anyway. Not that I'm buying cases, but always have a couple bottles. MMO does nothing to the octane rating. Just a little help to lube the valve assemble. Just something I do once and a while.
as far as oil, see I posted here #15. Explains my thought. Just change it.
