Although the manner of Boccino's death is left in the hands of the player, the most tactical option (and also the one with the most "spectacular" results) is to seize the opportunity in killing Boccino when he stops for fuel.  He parks directly next to a pump.  Should a player wire a car with a bomb provided by Packie McReary, they can park the rigged vehicle on the opposite end of Ray's usual gas pump before he arrives.  As soon as Ray parks his car, the player, from a safe distance, can trigger the bomb.  With the combined eruptions of the bomb, the gas pump, and the two vehicles, Ray is obliterated in a massive explosion, leaving only his personal guard remaining to be dealt with. However, if the player fails to kill Boccino at the gas station, he and his guards can still be eliminated in a subsequent car chase.
