However, both theories are fatally flawed because the octane rating would only be about 2.75.

By adding rotting horse manure with water diluted, approximately 100-1 by volume, and ground up hens' teeth strained through a filter of not more than two microns mesh, then blended with the soapy water would give an octane rating of 99.3.

It was only consuming two bottles of wine 14.5 per cent alcohol by volume that I decided to divulge this important information.
