You guys back east SUCK!!! Just thought I'd let you know, 94 octane is like mild race gas for people out west!

 

alberta is west

 

I find 94 everywhere I go here in BC. Not sure why you're so limited on choice. Then again, the manual reccomends 91, so I put in 91 (unless they offer 92 instead, then I use that).

 

in el paso tx they get 91 so its not even every state , there are other citys in TX that only get 91

 

I found a place when we were driving around today that had VP race fuel 100 octane unleaded. The car ran like night and day from the 91. The throttle response is better, gas mileage is better and I seem to be getting a little bit more boost. The down side is that the place is an hour away and it was $7.25 a gallon not to practical.

 

I actually put 91 in my car a few weeks ago, because I didnt have much of a choice, and theres a really big difference. Thats the last time I ever go under 93 octane

 

Damn you guys and your 93. Im paying $2.75 for 91 pissgas...

 

Sunoco Ultra 94 FTW
Best gas in Canada (unless you belly up for 101 race fuel)

 

Why the hell cant I get some over 93 octane love down here?

 

Using Shell V-Power 93 Octane in St. Louis.

 

use bp 93 octane with nos octane booster so running 99 octance big differance

 

i put 92 in my car once and it felt slower and i thought i got horrible gas mileage, maybe its just me though. I only now run 93 from sunoco, if the price stays down. if not im going to be running 92, ugh.

 

Damn, i'm using Sunoco 100 unleaded and I pay freakin 6.99 a gallon for it. I just went the other day, got $53 bucks worth, only 7 gallons of gas...

 

i hope you are not just driving around town. o yeah has any one tryed using 87?? the dealer did a filler up for me 2 times when i bought my car and i had a nasty knock

 

I did happen to run across this for the people that want to find the closes sunoco to them

I've been running 87 and 93, I keep switching back and forth and don't notice a real difference. It been cold her in Northern VA so the cooler temps has probobly helped keep the predetonation down, but I'll be going over to 93 all togther by the end of the month. I drive about 100 miles a day so gas hurts my wallet and I want some more mods damn it.

 

You do know that the 87 is bad on the SS/SC don't you? I really hope you baby it when you put that CRAP in the tank. Higher octane fuel is hard on all of our wallets but that is the price you must pay when you own this car.

 

funny enough i have some input on this from just today.

Ive been running my car with E94 octane for a while now (finally found a station that has it here in edmonton) and due to small amounts of knock here and there I like to put in an octane boost every tank.

Knock is almost non-existant now, with colder plugs E94 and Penzoil octane boost.

well, last week i couldnt get in to the city to fill up so i had to put $20 of 91 in for 2 days of work.

holy ****, the difference was VERY noticable.
i was getting an audible sound at WOT that sounded like spark blowout....
the HP was noticably less....and there was an almost hesitant surge at lower RPM when you punch it.
not to mention a healthy 4-5* of knock

so im like...**** this.
today i put a bottle of NOS Racing formula in, with a full tank of E94.
there is absolutely 0 knock. the HP is DEFINATELY noticable....the surging is gone....along with the audible sound.


you guys put WAY to little importance on what you put in your tank.
do NOT skimp a few bucks at the pumps.

 

Yeah, I sit in traffic sometimes for 2 and a half hours to get back from work for a grand total of about 40 miles, usually never even get to 4th gear and that's shifting at 2 grand. Traffic here sucks, I make sure I'm out of gas thursdays and fill up with premium to have good gas for the weekend then I go on it hard. 87 is not BAD for your car it's just not going to perform as well cause the knock sensor will change your timing to try to compensate as much as possible.

 

I wish there was somewhere around here where I could get something over 93 octane, I'd like to at least try it. As it is I may have to put a bottle of that NOS Racing Formula in my next tank and see what that does for me...

 

The gas station I go to around the corner from my house has the weirdest mix of octane I've seen, 87, 89, 93 and 94. I always get the 94, even though it's $.05/g for that 1 extra octane.

 

I wish I knew of somewhere around me that sold 94 octane, all i ever see is 93, sometimes 91 (i wont touch that anymore either, 93 or higher is all that goes in my tank now)

 

All we can get around here is 91 Id run 94 if there was any

 

In my tiny suburb of Austin the local walmart (where I always fill up - 3 cents off ) carries 87 89 and 93

I could just go out the local airport and fill up with some of that gas :P You can just drive right onto the runway here - perfect place to race, especially when your friends can turn on the runway lights with their radios.
