93 octane is readily available to me but I'd like to start mixing some Torco. For day to day driving with short, spirited bursts are people using a 32oz bottle per tank or just half a bottle? I'm not looking for a specific octane level, just want to ensure I have decent fuel when needed.

Make sure you stick with unleaded. O2 sensors don't particularly care for leaded race fuels.

Torco. Damn phone.

One bottle per fill up is what you want to use. I have a few bottles to drink up before I switch to VP Octanium which I've heard is better than Torco

Was hoping I could get by with half. Just ordered a case. That won't last long.

No, it goes quick lol

Octanium is blended for off-road racing applications and increases gasoline octane up to 8 numbers (80 points). Improve throttle response and acceleration, while eliminating knocks and pings. Octanium cleans fuel injectors and increases horsepower, but is for racing use only. Not recommended for use with catalytic converters or o2 sensors. 32 ounces treats up to 10 gallons - MSDS

Might want to contact VP before pouring it into the tank. Not friendly with o2's.

Pretty sure Torco is equally as bad for cats and O2 sensors.

Agreed. Just don't trust advertised octane levels. Not to mention the age of the fuel. Most are pumping 87 around here, no telling how old seldomly pumped 93 is.

Don't have cats so I won't worry about that. Rear O2's throw a CEL already. I'm running extensions (don't like) while looking for the best fix for this (doubled and drilled, steel wool, 90 degree, string, duct tape, voodoo spells, etc.)

Have a supplier in town here...paying 6.50/gal. I buy a few 5 gallons containers and add if I think i have a bad tank of fuel or going to go play.

I used to run torco in a different car. It does work but it fouls plugs quite fast, it turns everything in the engine orange and turns the plugs orange making them look like rust. But like I said, it does work... Just gets expensive and it does go bad so you have to watch for that.
