Is 93 the best i can get?

[focusedrage]

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.

The US measures their octane differently(R+M)/2. 100 RON is about 94-95 octane.

In some locations you can find 100 octane unleaded. You can look for locations here

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....

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

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.

I can get 110 leaded at Texaco.

 

[ImportModder]

I'm in V8 heaven Flint, MI. They routinely sell 93 octane. I thought I remember a couple of 94. They also sell 100 (110?) leaded octane at select gas stations

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.

i hear that in cali in the "richer" areas you can get 100, 102, and even 104(?) octane gas at the pumps.

highest we get here in Colorado is 91... there are a few places that sell race gas though.
