91 is the highest here, however when I was in Texas, it was 93.

And get this, 91 is more here than 93 in Texas, WTF?

Oregon has 92. (And they are required to pump it for you.) Just visited that state last week on vacation. Takes some getting used to having someone pump your gas for you everytime you stop at a gas station.

I know what there were at least 3 stations in SoCal that were selling 100 octane a few years ago. I haven't been to them in a few years, so I can't confirm if they still are. Try this to see if you can find one near you: http://www.76.com/products/76racing.asp

There is a 76 station in San Jose that has 100 octane. I used to use it whenever I could back when I was running 17 psi of boost in my Audi. Made a big difference. I can't remember where it is, though. Don't need high octane in a naturally aspirated Z, so I've long since forgotten about it.

Yep they are still around. I have a Union 76 with 100 Octane at the pump only 15 minutes away in CA.... only $4.63 per gallon

If you are trying to find race gas, ask the guys at your closest Honda or Yamaha bike/quad store. They might be able to give you info since off road vehicles (like bikes and sand rails) use it.

yes , but its a little pricey , close to $ 5.00 per gallon I think , so it would cost you around $ 100 to fill up our Z..
