Well, there is no/very limited supply of gas in Atlanta (and the SE overall). You can find regular sporadically, BUT NO DAYUM PREMIUM!

BTW: There is plenty of Diesel!

This was ok for awhile as I drove my old regular gas truck to work/etc...But this coming weekend I have a track day @ CMP...2 days worth!

Will regular gas and Octane booster work?

If so, what Octane Booster is recommended?

 

That sounds like a bad idea and a big headache waiting to happen. No way would I chance my car on a lower grade gasoline and booster. I doubt the mixture would equal what upi need it to as far as octane. Just look around and you can find some premium. I do since mine is a DD.

 

Do they not sell higher octane fuel at the track?


I guess we are kind of spoiled here in the south central US. I can buy 104 octane at a local gas station.

If it comes down to it, you could buy some at a small airport.

Will the ECU "re-map" itself to the lower octane level?

 

You might be able to get away with this as a last resort for daily driving, but you are talking about going on a track and pushing your car hard. You run the risk of detonation and blowing your motor. not worth IMO.

Use this link to find gas at local stations by type and zip code:

you can find a place where they sell high octane race gas (make sure to get unleaded if you have cats and\or dont wanna kill ur o2 sensors) and mix 5/8 tank regular gas with the rest 100-104, and you'll end up with around 93 octane

i think mapquest has a gas station search in which you can search for race gas

 

Add toluene..... That's all race gas is. Gas + tolune. It's not too expensive and you should be able to get it easilly. You will find recipes on the internet for race gas. You should be able to get a couple gallons at a hardware store. F1 race cars use 84% toluene.

If you don't mind the lead then head over to the airport with a fuel jug and get 100LL. but it's got a ton of lead in it.

 

I used to use this stuff in my supercharged Trans Am. I ran my stock LS1 engine at 12psi with no detonation issues for 75K miles including thousands of track miles. I used to swear by it. Haven't used it in a few years but I assume it is the same stuff. One can per tank of gas.
