[AT] Mixing High Octane gasoline and Diesel fuel

[Dean VP]

I was informed of a way to get more performance out of our lower compression
engines that were designed to run on lower octane gasoline. The theory
explained to me was that the current high octane gasoline burns too fast to
get full performance from our low compression, long stroke engines. It was
stated that a 25% to 35% diesel fuel mixed with gas would produce a slower
burn rate (lower octane) offering more power and torque. Intuitively, this
theory makes some sense to me.

Anyone with first hand experience trying this? Sure would solve the top end
lubrication issue. But ... with the downside of some potential Pre-ignition
knock. Then add some water???  :-)
