I can find 91 at every gas station... 92 at my BP stations! I usually just use 91 because of the price...

Here in most parts of Ohio we have at minimum 92 octane, average premium fuel grade is 93 octane and all Sonoco gas stations have 93 and 94 octane. Also there is one or two stations in the Columbus area where I live that you can get 100 and 110 octane from. So I'm here to represent Columbus in saying that we are hooked up, if we want to run a seperate tune with some crazy timing on the weekends and then run a slightly conservative tune for 93/94 octane throughout the work week, we can

Ha! You don't know the term "conservative" until you have to tune for 20 pounds of boost on 91 shitane
Luckily theres a gas station 3 miles from my house with 101 octane ...for $5.99 a gallon

Well if your talking about the difference between my pump gas and race gas tune, lets just say the difference is traction in 3rd gear

I HATE the 91 octane! The 91 to 93 is a BIG difference. I really wish I could try out some 100.

I generally use Shell V-power 93. Occasionally I'll use Sunoco 94. Just this last week i took a road trip from Ohio, all the way down to Georgia, and back to Ohio, and never had problems finding 93.

In Connecticut its hard to find 91 octane, at least where i am. I run 93. I pay about $2.75 on average for it. Just thought i would throw that in.
