"87 octane? No dude this is the real stuff"
 

At $6 a gallon he must have been wasted.

Hey - I used to remove my cats and Oxy sensors and run my car on AvGas130 if I felt like burning a dirty great hole in my pocket!

The car certainly felt like it could out run a jet when it was running on it.

haha that definetly has to be nuts though
wonders he didnt leave it running while he filled up

Have you heard about the guy who put a jet engine on top of his car? The only reason they found him was because they were trying to figure out how these skids marks were made down such a long way on the road and when they quit there were gouges in the pavement from the rims on the road, Somebody saw something shiny on a hillside a ways off so they went to take a look and found what was left of the guy and his not so flying machine. Must have been a wild ride while it lasted.

It's a fun idea, but it's also an Urban Legend. See:

As Snopes says, it's the Wile E. Coyote in us that wants to believe it's a true story!
