Yea, in here, the best I can from bump is 100 Octane from 76. It is about 2 miles from my home but it costs $5.39/gallon. I never tried to put that into my Evo yet, but will to see if it makes the mileage different.

 

I though cali use to have sunoco here as well? I move to CA and have yet to see one..


I'm paying $3.20 for 91 octane

 

oh your girl lives in fort lee? is she korean? haha. i was there last night i go there all the time. you need any sources around fort lee/pal park all that let me know i know lots of people

 

Nope, my girl lives in Paterson, exit 56 off of RT 80. I pass thru the GWB on my way to her house. Most of the mileage on my EVO is from going to see her !!!!

she's not Korean, she's South American, Peruvian to be exact..... but as a latina she kinda can pass for Asian....

Thanks for the offer on the contacts... maybe later on

 

No, the freakin' difference is resistance to knock! Anyone who tries to tell you higher octane gas has more energy/less energy, faster burn rate/slower burn rate, higher vapor pressure/lower vapor pressure, tastes great/less filling, etc., doesn't know what they're talking about. What octane rating means is not a matter of debate, it's a G-D ASTM standard, and it is exactly what the standard says it is. When it comes to octane, do not believe anything you read in a tooner mag or anything you read on the 'net unless it's Bruce Hamilton's Gas FAQ.

Well I only run it to jack up the boost and advance timing....the car seriously does pick up assloads of power while on the "good" stuff but it has to be tuned to use it.

 

out here in louisiana, we've got all the 93 octane we can handle haha

 

94 gave me crappier gas mileage. Also, almost all of the Sunoco's fold up. Very few are left locally. I think there's 1 or 2 stations in town with 94.

 

unless u let ur ECU adapts thru enough , changing Octane coztz bad mileage

 

+1, and to the poster who said that higher octane burns faster...you're completely wrong.

DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU POST

 

oh really? i pass paterson all the time when i go to fort lee.. yea GW bridge is mad expensive too. wow you dont get car jacked or anything while your in paterson? i get scared when i go there at night. Last year in the winter, me and my mom were in paterson and someone was like banging on our car at a traffic light and trying to get into the car. hahaha

 

My girl lives in the nicer part of Paterson in a 1 family private house with a huge backyard.

I leave my car out front when I visit her and never had a problem....The people in the neighborhood and tenants are always alert of whats going on....

when I'm not around I leave the car in the yard in her driveway and a huge 7" tall fence blocks the car from everyones sight.

 

Generally, higher octane means higher resistance to knocking. Increasing boost without increasing fuel, means you increase your a/f which tends to make engine knock. So if you get higher octance which increase the knock-resistivity, you can increase boost. However, I don't know how big a difference it has between 93 and 94. This is what I understand. I might be wrong.
