Fuelman: I'm not trying to be picky, but I think your reply in post #127 is a tad off. To increase the oil percentage of a full gallon of fuel, a good rule of thumb would be to add 1.6 ounces of oil for each percent of increase, not 1.28 oz as stated in the post. To be exact, to increase to 18%, add 1.56 oz for each percent increase you want, to increase to 20% add 1.6 oz for each percent increase, and to increase to 22%, add 1.64 oz for each percent increase.

Also, adding oil to a gallon of fuel will lower the nitro percententage in the fuel as you stated, but the percentage of methanol goes down proportionally, so the ratio of nitro to methanol, the stuff that burns to produce power, remains the same. That's why adding a few oz. of oil to a gallon of fuel doesn't affect performance to any measurable extent even though the percentage of nitro in the final volume goes down.
