List,

From:   http://www.ercracingfuels.com/sxs1.htm

The highest octane ERC gas, A-18C @ >120.3 also has the highest BTU @ 
20,122.


From: My memory of conversations with Rick.

The burn rate is determined by the chemistry. A-18C @ >120.3 burns faster
than  110K @ 115.5. and A-8C @ >120.3 burns slowest of all.

While A-18C and A-8C specifications look very similar, they are totally 
different.
A-18C is for NA drag motors.
A-8C is for very high manifold pressure endurance applications.

An interesting subject, new information is always coming in,
Bryan
