What if you don't live anywhere that is close to a station that carries race gas?
May not be convenient as a local gas station, but they sell the gas in drums.

That race gas is like meth: it does nothing without a tune. Setting up a second fuel cell is about 10x the work of a meth kit that could be installed in about 4hrs.

I could see a second fuel cell install being more work then a water/meth kit also. To be honest it would not be necessary either.
The goal is to be able to still use pump gas(which you can get anywhere unlike race gas), and use the water/meth kit to increase the octane rating. It's much easier and cheaper to refill the water/meth tank then it would be for me to drive 30miles to refill on race fuel(closest one to me is 30miles away)
Overall you'll save more money also.

Yep. $395 for the kit, and a buck per gallon for the mix. You can run peak -20 washer fluid too, which is available almost everywhere. The tank can last up to a month depending on how you use it.

Well say the system was engaged at all time...how long would a 5 gallon tank last? Lets say during heavy tracking the whole time. These are the types of things I'd like to know.

Be careful what fluid you use. The Peak fluid works because it's almost dead on 50/50 water/methanol with no additives. You don't want to run anything with bug detergents, or other additives that can clog jets, and damage your engine.

that but also, water has cooling properties.
Something I was curious about: Water cannot be compressed so im wondering if it increases compression at all?
