i try to use holiday gas as much as i can. ive been using it since new 41,000 miles later i have no problems. i started using it because it was one of the only places that sold 93. from what i can tell they changed that over the winter. now all the holiday stores i go to only have 92. when i used any thing else in my car it didnt seem to run as smooth, and its seems to be a bit louder too. sometimes when ive used other gas i can barely even hear the turbo over the sound of the engine. with the holiday gas all i hear is turbo. my boost gauge reads about 1/2 to 1 psi higher too. i havnt driven my car since november so i dont know how the 92 from holiday is.

 

well if they all cared about cars as my bros are than of course I have no problems with them driving my car. We all let each other drive our sports car anytime.

 

I think i have seen your car then, once in a while i would see a black evo 8 roll around the campus...never had a chance to talk to him though

 

I was wondering any of you guys want to hit up buffalo wild wings on tuesday...i usually do but i hit it up with MR2 guys..any evo guys want to join me? pm me...oh yeah i usually go to rosedale or maplewood for wings...just thought it be nice to see a few evo faces.

 

Hey markeddy...all is well. I am thinking about switching to a Vishnu product and go to a dyno day in St. Louis...did you get a new ride?

 

There's one on 169 and Rockford road, west side of 169. I know its on the west side of the cities but i never make it over to the St. Paul side. The only person who might find it useful that I know of is stryderlis. Seems like everyone else is on the East side.

 

Michael I got rid of my 2005 MR when Mitsu decided to offer the 0% financing. So my wife and I traded in the MR for a 2005 Silver GSR w/SSL package.

It's a really nice car, I actually like it alot more than my MR, I do miss the 6spd. though and the Bilstiens, but other than that the sunroof and leather make up for that.

I have the Apexi Turbo Timer, Works drop-in filter, Ralliart spark plug wires, Ralliart radiator air flow guide, Ralliart front strut tower bar brace, and had the gauge pack and rear aero diffusor installed, I also have some other cosmetic goodies that are from the accessories catalog.

Other than that I don't have anything performance wise done to the car. However, I am going the WORKS route this time and having the P2r flash, boost lines, and cored out stock muffler done to the car in the spring.

I am not going Vishnu because I don't want to sit and play around and waste time with the Exede. Every message thread on that forum is a question on how to use their product or why this person is having this problem, etc..

That's just not for me. I would rather have a little more conservative and reliable tune from the guys at WORKS who tuned BMW's for years that deal with Vishnu or Dynoflash.

 

Does this Shell have 93 octane? The best I can find is 92 in Minnesota. When I used to live in NY we had 94 at Sunoco all day long and 93 was at every gas station instead of 91 and 92. Seems like 91 is the normal premium grade in Minnesota which kinda sucks.

 

I wonder if our 92 octane is equivalent to a 93 octane in California, if they sell it.

 

Just wanted to say hi, I have posted on the other MN thread. Can't wait for the MN Dyno Tune! I would also like to know about meets and such.

I'll check on my way home tonight. I drive right by it when i pick up my kid after work. Its a little further down the frontage road past a Holiday off Rockford Rd. I've never stopped there because I don't really care what gas I put in the car I have right now so i just go to Holiday.
I guess, even if they don't have 93, seems like the general consensus on here is that their gas is better anyway.

Not that it matters for me as I don't even have an EVO yet.

 

I didn't know California had 93, there highest octane around all gas station is **** water 91.

 

I don't think this dyno tune day might even happen. Last time we did it in MN, there was more interest.

 

Stopped by the Shell on Rockford and 169 and was pleasantly suprised. They don't have 93 Oct. But they do have...

92 Octane W/ Ethanol $2.23
92 Octane No Ethanol $2.33

Sunco Race Fuels

110 octane and 100 octane both $4.63

 

What's better ethanol or no ethanol? I'm going to have to try whatever is better to see how the Evo runs. Is there a sticker on the pump telling you which is ethanol and which isn't?
