Out with the new and in with the old!

After taking out a few of those bills, I turned that, into this:

I am very excited to enter the world of the L67!

Screw octane booster, go to a hardware store and get a gallon of Toluene (type of chemical, not name brand). It's normally sold as a paint thinner. Add that to your tank.

Adding 2 gallons of Toluene to 10 gallons of 89 will net 94.33 octane.
Adding 3 gallons of Toluene to 10 gallons of 89 will net 96.38 octane. Do not exceed this ratio.

I suggest 1 gallon of Toluene, then fill the rest of the tank with 91 or 92 to force it to mix in the tank. You have to be very careful mixing toluene in subsequent tank fills, as the ratio begins to climb each time as your starting octane begins each time at a higher level. It can be a very dangerous game.

No problem!!! And nah, I'm good. The Caprice is getting sold soon, it sucks on gas, and really isn't my style. I'm looking for a 96-99 SSEi just like yours :btruestory:

He's right, the INTENSE Craprice Classic SS isn't really anything to write home about... :poke: Does a helluva burnout though for what it is...

P.S. Are you from the Chicago area?
