Road Trip to Sheptrans

Hey Guy's,
I'm planing a trip down To Sheptrans in Sept, to fix my diff and trany. I need to know which Gaz stations sell 94 octane in the states ?

I'll be crossing 3 states - New York - Pennsylvania & Ohio. This will be my map for those you are interested in meeting up a long the way.

In my experience driving through the northern states very few now (if any) sell 94 anymore. The Sunoco's were the only ones I found that did even when they were selling it in NY, KY, OH, MI. If you are tuned for 94 octane you might want to turn the boost down a little or get another map flashed for 92 octane

You should be fine to tune for 93. Def wont find 92. But your right about 94 only being offered at some sunocos around the northern areas.

93 should be found everywhere though. Just stay away from Irving. Their "premium" gas is 91. Alot of mobils have been bought out by them.

It's pretty easy to stay out of boost all together if your worried about it causing damage with 92 octane. Are you very aggressively tuned?

Midwest has 93 oct. Thats only 1 pt difference. I would not worry about it.

Secondly, octane boosters do nothing. Don't waste your money on them.

I'm tuned right now at 410HP at 28PSI, but its a manual boost controller so i can turn it down.

Wow, that stuff amazes me. You can even run 91 with your tune, just don't hot lap the car. 94 and 91 won't be that big of a deal.

On your way here all gas stations will have 93, all sunocos (from your side) in Ohio will have 94
