I have easy access to aviation fuel and wAs wondering if there is any benefit/downside to using it. Stock 383 4bbl. My thought was to mix it with 93 octane. Maybe help offset the ethanol content.
90 octane non ethanol is the best we can get here and I mix it 50/50 with AV fuel. I add 4 ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil to every 5 gallons of AV fuel. All my 383's, 440's, and stock Hemi's run and perform great on this. 10.5 to 1 compression and less you are fine. I have a couple of 12.5 compression engines that run straight 110 or 115 octane racing fuel, no way around this.I have easy access to aviation fuel and wAs wondering if there is any benefit/downside to using it.

As an added lubricant being AV gas is dry gas so planes don't have fuel freezing conditions at high altitudes.Why the mix with marvel mystery oil?
I think you mean hygroscopic.Ethanol sucks in engines, it has less energy and is hydroscopic.
Yep.. cheapest I've been able to buy it in years. Price/litre, NavCanada fee/litre, carbon tax now and then 13% tax on top of all the tax. $1.60/litre, basically 4 litres / US gallon.. so $6.40/gal/.75cents.. $4.80US/US gallon.$1.40/liter Canadian . I wonder how much that is Usd/gallon.?
I think I paid $22/5 gallons USD the last time, but it might have been less than $20.
Edit: I guess it's $1.60/liter after they ad sales tax on top of the other three taxes. Lol
That's cheap compared to what we pay here - about $3.50 per litre for AV gas, and 100 Octane Race gas is roughly the same.Yep.. cheapest I've been able to buy it in years.

Yeah, it looks like they have figured out how to tax the tax. Good racket!Yep.. cheapest I've been able to buy it in years.
