What premix are you using, and what are the costs per quart or gallon.

Cart Price Check Part:IDEM-PREMIX-CS
Is it 12 quarts per case for $67 ? Then if that is so its $5.58 a quart. Idemitsu recommends 1/2 ounce per gallon of gas. So for the Series 1 gas tank of 15.9 gal you should use about 8 oz. of premix at about $1.40 a tank. does that sound right ?

I have been using Pettit Racings ProTek- R, which is $50 per gallon (4 quarts), $12.50 per quart.
http://shop.pettitracing.com/protek-...-p-120049.html

They recommend only 4 oz per tank, which is about $1.56 per tank. So the Idemitsu is slightly cheaper at $1.40 vs $1.56 per tank,( using 8 oz of Idemitsu vs 4 0z of the Protek-R) Both are synthetic blends. Interesting !

Stinksauce were you planning to buy one case and split it or how much were you going to buy ? And how much Idemitsu do you use per tank ?

I always top off about 10 to 12 gallons so I eyeball about 5 to 7 oz. If I am driving hard I bring that up to 10.

I am planning on buying one case.

I think I will stick with the Protek-R. I have no doubt the Idemitsu is great stuff. It is more for convenience . I have nice four ounce bottles that I fill with the Protek-R , they are easy to carry and use for a tankful (I can even stick one in the door pocket) , and i just eyeball a little less if i am not filling up. I would have to carry around more Idemitsu on long trips, and I do many long trips in my RX8. Sorry I was seriously thinking of switching, but I guess I am used to my little bottles. See you next meet !

There's a place in Oaks, PA with a big parking lot. It's right next to the movie theater. How reachable is that for people?

Max & Erma's is right there. Food is okay, cookies are awesome.

Texas Roadhouse is close. Good food, always a fun place.

Twisty roads aren't far.

I'd be down for a meet. I've also heard there are huge car meets at king of prussia mall lot in PA on certain sundays.

Don't think I could swing West Point, but King of Prussia or Oaks would work well for me!

As for dates, I like Saturday nights. Could also conceivably swing a Tuesday or Sunday.

Anyone want to make a new thread? I don't have the post count yet.
