Best 92 octane in Hawaii

For tuning purposes what gas station in Hawaii serves up the highest quality 92 octane. I know the 76 in town has 100 octane, but its not practical for me to do remote tunes with it. I'm wrapping up my Tune with Tom at TSComp, but can't get consistent logs due to the **** poor gas in Hawaii. I want to get consistent results before bringing things to a close. So far after getting tuned the torque and hp curves are smooth and the HP holds till redline due to my sick S2 cams.
So I started off with Costco gas and we all know the price reflects the quality. So I switched to Aloha Gas and had some better results, but still not great. Now I'm using Shell and had one decent run, but the next run had some knock. The other gas options are Cheveron, 76 and Tesoro.
I'm still on stock turbo, but have upgraded the other essentials. Any suggestions and/or info are much appreciated!
By the way whens the next meet?

At the last cars and coffee a guy that tests fuel was there... He told us that the best fuel is Tesoro on island based on his tests.. That's all I run and haven't had any knock issues between tanks of fuel

Damn, that's good to hear since the gas next to my house is tesoro. I'll try a tank once I burn the fuel I have now. Thanks for the info. I'll post up with my results.

Hey, you should go to O'Reilly's and get the NOS Octane Booster. It boosts the octane 60 points or a full 6 Octane rating. So basically around 98 Octane on a full tank of 92 and it just costs 15 dollars. It works well. Let's just put it this way, my clutch has been destroyed from using this Octane Booster, Lol. I'm in the Process of replacing mines now =\. Stocker couldn't handle all the extra power. Grr. Anyway good luck!

You guys should chk put CArs n Coffee and talk to George, an older gentlement who tests fuels, he recommended Rob and I to mix 2 gals of ethanol with Tesoro's 92 octane, he gets ethanol from Brazil and i believe extracted from sugarcane.

How much is the ethanol per gallon? May have to look into this if its much cheaper than race gas.
