Default Re: Mixing synthetic and regular oil

Tinker
I'm not suggesting any of us would want to raise the octane running a flathead. What I am saying is some people [itinerant racers mainly] attempt to raise the octane [essentially reformulate gasoline] using chemical stews available at the local parts store. Pure snakeoil.

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.
