Unless Cenex Harvest States is a gas station, I don't pull anything on map.google for Cenex in the area. I know they are up in Seattle, but not here. So... any others?

I've heard that can be bad for your car though. So I was looking for just straight 94 octane.

sport compact car did an article and concluded that octane boost can raise a tank of 92 up to almost 94 if you use the good stuff. they also concluded its cheaper to just buy 94 in the first place. i doubt it can be bad for your car. whats it going to do? eat up your float bowl gaskets? technology is cool.

Cenex Harvest States might also be a gas station though, they sell feed, propane, gas.

I checked two of them between here and Coos Bay on 101 and both didnt have anything better than 92.

Sunco GTPlus 104 unleaded (38 bucks for a 5 gal pail).

if you are on 5 and take the puyallup exit which is 512, on the second exit get off the highway and take a left. you will see a real nice gas station and then the cenex right after it. it looks a lil run down but they have anywhere from 94 to 98 its just always labeled as 94 so he dosent have to pay race gas prices. everytime i am there i see an evo, sti, or old muscle car pull up. hope this helps

Most off the shelf octane boosters only raise by a couple of points....meaning from 92 oct to 92.3 oct. Toluene is a much better alternative and a 10-15% mixture can raise a few octane or more.
