100 Octane?
I have heard and seen Union 76 stations offering 100 octane. Has anyone else heard of this and if so, have you used it and is it better for your car? I heard is VERY expensive though. I believe they call it racing gasoline.

Maybe he was trying to say three dollars and eighty nine cents.

CAM2
This was also in my town at 108 octane called CAM2...no clue what it stands for but it is recommended that the motor be adjusted to accomodate the increased temp at ignition or you will have issues!! friend of mine used this on a Eclipse GSX which was completely redone putting over 550 horses to the ground-AWD but he got 10-13 MPG and it was over 60$ to fill it up at about 4.50 a gallon...town size was 125,000 and we had 2 places to get it at the pump...most had it delivered to their race shop in bulk...
NOT FOR A STOCK MAX!!!!

In North Carolina you can get 100 octane street gas. This will not hurt your car as long as it is unleaded. It should be OK as long as the pump does not say "not for highway use" At least that is what I was told.
