RaceTrack Gasoline

Is there any downside to using 93 octane RaceTrack Gasoline vs. other brands?

I used racetrack a few times and the only thing I found was that at high speeds, the sulfur smell (rotten egg) was worst with racetrack than with other fuels. Besides that, my car seems to run the same.

Should be fine unless it has lead in it. I can purchase 94 octane premium out of the pump here...
That's what I run in both of my vehicles, 94 octane Conoco/Phillips premium.

RaceTrack is usually 5-10 cents cheaper than other brands

I'm not familiar with Race Track, but almost certainly their gas comes out of the same pipeline that Mobil, Shell, etc. get their gas from. So at that point it is identical to the name brands.

However, the difference can be that the other brands may put additives in the gas once it arrives at their distribution center that Race Track does not.
