Ace what additive? Tell us more, please... what is it, where do you get it? Is it a consistent 15-17% mileage improvement, or just a couple-tanks fluke?
Thanks in advance... :bowdown:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
What Octane Fuel Does Your Spyder Drink Most of the Time?

We use 91
Used 87 a couple times and it definitely negatively affected the way it ran.

It's my belief that in Europe and Australia/NewZealand the fuel companies use a different math to calculate octane ratings. SO....
here in the UK I run the Spyder on both the 93 octane and 97 octane fuel and I find that the higher octane gives a tad more 'punch'
to the acceleration while the 93 gives better mileage. So really it's more of a case of quid pro quo and it depends what your requirements are.
You can overdo the use of high octane fuel as it burns at a higher temperature and gives limited advantages.
On early gas engines you could burn out valves by using 'over the top' high octane fuel and although I don't think that that would be a problem
with modern fuel injected engines, there is, it seems, a point of limited/ minimal returns using the higher octane stuff.
Just my thoughts on the subject.

If you google Aces fuel additive It will tell u all about it. Will take 87 to 96 89to 98 93 to 102 octane. Is also a lubricant reduces bore ring and valve wear by 600%. Increase mpg average 14%. 1 oz. 6gal. It is also a stabilizer. Used all summer love It. Little pricey but worth every penny.:yes:

Doesn't seem to be too many purchase options other than directly from the company.

I always put in the highest octane available at the station where I am refueling. In most cases its 91 here in Alaska. I do notice a difference in performance if I use 87.

Just got off the phone with Brian, the owner. He spent quite a bit of time with me. Obviously, he lives this stuff!
I am very interested in his products and I've ordered the Aces IV (Gasoline additive) and Aces II (Diesel additive). I will run both and report back. If they do what he claims it will be quite an improvement over what I've been using.
Always looking for a better mouse trap!

I always feed the beast 93 octane...
Just in case the question of fuel quality comes into play; I figure that I may have bought myself a bit of "wiggle room" with it! nojoke

Yes Brian is very smart. Don't think you will be disappointed

I have a good feeling about it. But at this point, that's all it is. Still, I wouldn't waste my time if I didn't think there was great potential there.
He's a lot smarter than I. But what I do know he was right on about. And when he strayed from what I know he made a lot of sense. He's not claiming his stuff will cure the common cold and give you a 50% increase in power at the same time. His claims are reasonable and he really seems to know his stuff.
I know that most everything out there is low priced snake oil selling at a huge profit margin. The Aces products are expensive dollar wise but if they perform, they will more than pay for themselves.
One thing that surprised me is the scope of products they produce. I will most certainly be trying some of his other offerings.
It's amazing what you can learn here on Spyderlovers.com... :thumbup:
I originally created this poll, not sure why I closed it so soon. Is there a way to open it back up again?

There may be some sort of built-in time limitation on just how long they remain open...
Do you know the date that it closed?
(October 22nd was the start date.)

Thank You for this post! I did Google it, and spent a lot of enjoyable time learning from it. I was ready to respond that I would try it, document my results, and report back to you and all the other amazing people here!
Then I saw someone's post elsewhere about the high price, and also couldn't find anyplace local to obtain a small amount (like less than a whole gallon...)
Now I also see BajaRon's posts, and I'm still very interested in this product, although it seems to be mostly intended for high-volume users such as fleets, etc. I'm watching for any more developments now...
Thanks again for the info, and to BajaRon for his input and diligence. I just know I'm about to learn more about something interesting and useful. From SPYDERLOVERS!
