Default Fuel Additives and the Gas

Hey guys I searched this and it seems like the search function is pulling up a ton of "invalid threads". Anyway....going to be doing the 75 hit at the track this weekend. However, we can only get 91 pump gas around here. I'm pretty sure my dynotune dry kit manual suggests 93 octane. Is there an additive that I can get a hold of at NAPA, CarQuest, AutoZone, or O'Reileys?
Thaaaaaanks a bunch guys.

In Canada (well vancouver anyways) we can get this 10% ethanol 90 octain at some stations for the same price as 87. I've run this with a 100 wet shot and it's been fine.

If you can't find TORCO, just cut in a couple gallons of 106. They should sell an assortment at the track

I usually try to run with about a half tank (according to my gauge) at the track...so do you think a gallon or so of 106 or 110 should be okay?

Look up Alliance gasoline stations. Many of them carry 100 oct. race gas.

try toluene, you can find it in paint stores. the octane is 114 and is safe to run as an additive in fuel.
