My boss was at a Chevron about 50 south of Salt Lake and they had 100 octane. He said it was 2.69 a gal…

 

sorry 50 miles south of Salt Lake

 

Isn't 100 and up though leaded?

 

nope 100 is unleaded anything past 100 is leaded. You can get Sonoco gt 100 here in MN but it's like $5.00-$6.00 a gallon.

 

HOLY SH*T!!! thats seriously not that much more than 93 around here, about 20 cents more than in the ritzier neighborhoods. the Sunoco race fuel 100 octane down the street is up towards $5 a gallon!

 

When I was in Israel for 2 weeks in June, their octane grades are 95, 96 and 98. I wish we had 98. =(

 

100 Octane here in So Cal is $5.69/gallon. I use it in my Turbo Supra, as I boost to 20 psi on occasion. It would be a waste of $$ in our non turbo Max's.

 

I don't know, Hal probably uses it sometimes.

 

You created a cardomain to post this thread??

 

Where at? There's a sunoco with octane up to 104 on Redwood and ~5000 S in Salt Lake.

 

 

i've always been meaning to create a cardomain page, but don't have the time to take photos of my car, so i just created it to post that pic and later add on pix of my car.

 

Might have to go there to try it out....

 

Not 100% sure but as I know US=Europe
83=93 or 95
87=96 and
93=98
cuz US and Europe use different grade systems some kinda research octane BS. Check your user manual (fuel section) it's written there. First time when come here I laughed that US use low grade fuel but it isn't so
UPDATE ouh well i found it: us measures gas as AKI- anti-knock-index and Europe measures it as RON- research-octane-number. Basicly 91AKI equal 96RON
87AKI=91ORN.

 

haha exactly what i was thinking

 

hey, JUICED you can get 100 octane gas in greenpoint,brooklyn, if you want

 

And this relates to 5th gens how?

 

I work near there so I might have to get some of that gas sometime. Where's the other place you were talking about???

 

theres 100 and 110 in the town next to me called malveren li ny its like 6$ for a gal crazy stuff

 

If im not mistaken, you can fill up on 93 and get octane booster in autozone or any auto store and bring it upto like 98.

Yeah Nomad, I heard of that too. Most car engines would not last close to 100k miles on very high octane, or am i wrong.

 

If its rated 100 with lead it will be labeled as 100LL which means low lead. But there is unleaded 100 gas floating around in some areas

 

I knew it! That's the first thing I asked my cousin's when I saw how high their gas octane was. They told me, as far as they knew, they use the same grading system. Apparently not.

 

I guess the ultimate question is: Does 100 Octane give you a power increase?

 

I have heard of a place in ogden that has 100 octane but I don't really want to drive all the way out there for it.....that is the only place I can think of...

 

Depends....on a FI car then yes....you will get power gains....but on NA....I dont know....people on here say no...but I just want to try it my self to see....

 

MASS MEDIA, when you do let me/us know what the results are!

 

Well...if you're using forced induction then yes. If you have advanced timing, also yes. Somebody posted a dyno showing a 20HP/20TQ difference between using 89 and 93 octane.

 

I just went a looked for it....where is it?

 

I'll get the exact address later today when I pass by it on my way to work.
