In fact when I was up there they had four ratings 87, 89, 91, and 100! If you dont believe me ask any Z member from British Columbia

let's keep this going : the 76--rasingfual for your area you must call 1-800- 527-5476 & ask for rocket fuel div. 800 # the web site is all 76 stations AND if U go there U must go to U'R town and klick on the Zip code

An actor? Well, I was in some school plays back when I was a kid.
As far as high octane pump gas, 76 stations only sell 100 octane, not 110. There are also Sunoco stations around the country (east coast, maybe?) that also sell high octane. Once again, I think 100 is as high as you can go there. All the gasolines I've seen higher than 100 octane have been leaded, and you do *not* want to put leaded gas in your engine.
For a quick and easy chart to figure out what ratio you need in order to achieve a certain octane, go here:

For example, if you're mixing 91 and 100, use the first chart.

you only need 93octain .So mix 2(5$) gals of 100 w/ 17gals. of 91 that will get you 93ish & when you tack over 4000 your engine will not be knocking.

We have 93 all over VA here. I have no idea where to find higher octanes but there have to be some around. My buddy has a supra tt (97) and i think he runs 103 octane sometimes.

Gas attendents always tell me my tank must be full when it is sitting on 'E'.

Hey i got a question, here in holland we got 98 octane everywhere (95 is the lowest you can get) but now i have found this fuel, it's called ELF 124, and as the name implies, it has 124 octane, but now my question... what does the higher octane mean? i couldn't find anything good on the search

Neo, keep in mind Europe uses a different formula to get their numbers, so 91 oktan = 87 octane (butchering some German here). I bet that your 98 octane is about equal to our 93 or 94. Don't have any idea about your 124 stuff.
In any case, octane measures resistance to combustion (vaguely like Ohms measure resistance to conductivity). The higher the octane, the harder it is to light it, and the less energy it has. The advantage to high octane is you can squeeze it harder before it "pops."
High performance engines like to squeeze the fuel/air mix a lot, and then add spark, getting more power out of it. If it "pops"/ignites before the engine is ready, because the octane is too low, it can damage the engine, and if bad enough, put holes in your pistons.
