Ok so i can get 93 pump gas around hear, and right now i dont need any higher but i suppose it woulet hurt. Im just wondering if 93 is the hights that can be gotten at a pump, do they have 94 like in other parts of the country? is it true that gass in japan is 100?
 
Yes its true, 100 octane! Personally i dont know why your cars perform as well as they do on such low octane, in the U.k our normal unleaded is 95, and Super unleaded is 97. The highest we have is 98 octane, this is made by Shell. My car was designed for 97 Leaded 4 Star, now that was some proper gas...

Really you need to add an octane booster, when i came over to the states i saw no higher than 93.

Although i'm not fully clued up on your engines, do they run an anit-knock sensor? If they do, higher octane fuel will definalty improve your power. Pointless overwise using higher quality fuel if the management system cant see it.

Lucky you, the best I can find here in Iowa City is 92 through Amoco (and it still costs me over a buck an a half). It seems to do alright, but I'd definitely prefer to find some higher octane.

A buck and a half??? That's it!! Damn I wished I lived in Iowa! Here in Chicago it's more than that for regular unleaded! It's anywhere from $1.65 to $1.85 a gallon depending on what County your in and what not....
 
DAmn, i don't know what it's like to not have 93... every station with in 5 miles of me sells 93 octane.

yeah word, gas shoudl be free to anyone with a dsm

I would include the word "race" in front of gas, i.e. "Race gas should be free to anyone who owns a DSM." That is some truly expensive stuff.
Last I bought was $6.50/gallon for 116 octane.
 
oh HOLY SH|T, well even though this woudl be hard and expensive, i wonder if it woudl be cost efective to get one of those big drum tanks (i think they go for liek 400 with a pump thing) and fill it with 93 gas and add a bunch of octane boster With that you coudl probly fill at home for a year
 
my buddy works at the airport and can get me free jet fuel which is real high octane.. i sould go down there sometime and fill up a tank with it hah.

Airplane gas is usually 104 octane, but it doesn't have some of the lubricants that pump gas has. You'll need to include an additive, the V8 guys around here use marine engine oil.
 
free air plane feul, dude that is so cool, yeah but i guees i woudl be worried about the lubes too,
 
I used to live in MN and worked in WI there was one gas station in MN and one in Wi that had 94 at the pump it was a Super America station if I remember correctly.

Around me almost very place only has 91. I has to drive at least 25 minutes to get to somewhere that has 92 or 93. Even then there are only two places to get gas.
 
highest we get here in Colorado is 91... there are a few places that sell race gas though.
