I've actually heard of a guy using melted jolly ranchers before. He would melt them in a pot or whatever then put it in a gatorade bottle or water bottle to transport it. Don't know if it worked or not but they said it smelled good when he did the burnouts .

Don't laugh but I have seen people use Dr.Pepper and I have used Pepsi before. It seemed to work but there is no hard data to back it up.

If you do a burnout on the stuff it gets pretty sticky.

Street racers do this kind of **** all the time.
