I have only been able to find 92 and one station that sells 101 octane race fuel. I was wondering if there are any websites that let you search for premium fuel octane.

 

I don't know of any websites, but is that one point of octane worth driving an extra say 30 miles for? Just buy some torco and throw that in there every so often if you desire a higher octane. Unless you're knocking that bad, I don't think it would be worth the 93 or the octane booster. FI is what needs the higher octane without a doubt! You can come up to WI, we sell 93 here!

I also wouldn't run higher octane if you don't really need to, you'll rape your O2 sensors.

Just food for thought. 1 octane level higher and an extra $10 per fill-up to drive to get it, or just stick with the 92 and save your money.

 

That is the reason i'm asking, I'm going to go F/I pretty soon. If I can't find 93 will 92 not be safe for FI?

 

Having a FI car, 92 and 93 aren't that big. It's when you go from 93/92 to 89. That will not be the best for you.. it'll end up causing KR. If you wanna go to the track, throw some Torco in the tank and you'll get yourself a higher octane. Obviously don't throw it in on a full tank as that would negate the purpose.

BTW, supercharged or turbocharged? I'm thinking supercharged would be better in some ways for a road course just for the power on demand, but a turbo isn't going to create as much heat but will take time to spool.

 

Move to PA, we get 94 at sunoco's, thank my dad for that, he holds many patents related to it.

 

damn...i didn't know other states don't have 93 available...in Houston, all the Supreme I see are 93s...i've yet to get see a 92 premium

sorry...but what's FI and KR???

 

Fellas...premium is premium wherever you get it. It is the same thing. The octane calculation formula is the SAME no matter where u live. Altitude changes the variables involved and the same gas will test at 93 in Chicago and 91 here in Denver.

I made a detailed post about that some months ago with a very informative link in it that explains all this. I think it was from Chevron.

.

 

FI = Forced Induction - IE: Turbocharged or Supercharged
KR = Knock Retard - Retards timing, thus creating less horsepower. KR is very BAD! Too much and you'll pop your motor.

 

Where is the gas station with the race fuel?

 

I think 95% of this site is "going FI" soon... Anyway, 1 octane won't really make a difference.

 

Re. where to find 101 octane in the Kansas City area, look at koolzero's recent post on our club's website www.hazcc.com.

92 or 93 what do you want to put that rubbish in your car for! Handbook says use 97 or higher.

 

Handbook for what?

 

It was either 100 or 101 it's on Johnson Drive just east of Lamar. 913-432-9911.

 

Do any of your OP/KC guys know of any shops around that have installed Greddy TT's?

 

handbook for the car

 

 

every station near me has 93 for premium and some have 94 but its like an extra $.15 a gallon, no thanks.

 

hey koolzero, you are going to have to goto Missouri to find it man. I think.....Lees Summit has 93. ITs a hella drive from O.P., but thats about it.

 

Right....
