This 'urban legend' is right out of the '30s, when gas was 60 octane & hard 
to find. The theory was, the napthalene in std. mothballs would up the octane 
of the weed-killer they used for gas (napthalene is a type of modified 
benzene molecule). Didn't work well then, doesn't work now. Save your bucks 
for nitrous. Cheers- J DeRyke
