There is 94 around here at Sunoco, but I just don't trust their gas for some reason. So I usually stick with Amoco 93. I heard the best fuel is Chevron's Techron 93. So go to Chevron if you have it. Closest one to me is Va. and I'm not driving 4 hours

I live in California and the highest i can get is 91. I wish we can have 93 here to get more powerl out of those turbos.

im using 87 octane.....

 

[wastefuldreamer]

93

 

[Gh0zTeR]

94 all the way @ Sunoco. they have good prices most of the time too.

Why would you run anything less than 1992 octane?
1992 is the highest octane I got avliable to me in my area so it's exactly what I run. Now if I go outa town by about 30 mins I can get 93 octane.



Don't run less than 92 if you can help it. Your car will love you for it.

highest is 91 where I live, 92 is hard to find but is around

I run a mix of 94 and 100 unleaded.

yo a friend of mine runs c-16 aka 116 oct. at the strip but he lives in cali and it cost a whooping 9.00 a gallon. he runs that only at the strip cuz he usally pushes 28 psi. around the streets he runs the best cali pump gas has to offer which i think is 91 oct. even so it cost him like 2.50 a gallon.

:laugh: I would rather pay the extra $1 or $1.50 to fill up on premium then the regular,plus the $1.50 is alot cheaper than a new engine.

Do any of you guys make your own high octane gas?

Not many do but a couple people on the forum have said how to.

Its pretty easy to do...I was just curious if anyone has had good/bad experences with Xylene/Toluene mixtures w/ their DSM's.

 

[1320talon]

then gas place about 30 miles from my house has what they call turbo blue it is like 105 but it is like 4.00 and somthig a gallon

 

[out there]

i've used xylene before, 1gal in about 4gal of 92. maybe it's the placebo thing... but it felt significantly quicker (perhaps because i also reset the octane value in the ecu? )

 

[Beanokid69]

i get 100 octane at 76! expensive but better
