i remember one of my friends trying the old "mothballs in the tank"
years ago and it seemd to run better "probably the naptha"

and i used to put octaine addative"probably banned now" lol
in my old mkII escort when i used to run track days
"but it used to run real hot if u stopped for a minuite"
so not realy practical unless you seriously upgrade the cooling system

i find the best way to improve the performance is a seriously
good synthetic oil "mobil 1" or some such
as moast pepole put cheap stuff in and u end up using
a couple of horsepower turning all the bearings
"and if u try turning the engine by hand u realy feel the difference"
