Default Just my luck....

Right about the time I get my car back, damned Oklahoma is going from 93 back to 91 octane

What hp do you think is possible at 12psi with all of my engine work, on 91 gas? I'm sure I'll mix in a little 100 octane with each tank to play it safe.

Don't know but VP fuels just lowered their shipping costs(at least to FL). Time to stock up on some drums.

Is this a statewide thing? That really sucks if it is. You can still get 450-500whp out of the 91octane crappy stuff. You will just have to dial in significantly more timing retard.

who you calling a retard. hahahahha I always laugh when I hear that. 91 sucks. Why can't we have a choice. If you want 93 then sell it. A gas station in SJose has 100 oct. WTF

All I know is what a couple of convenience store employees have told me, and the fact that all of the Shell's only go up to 91 now, and a few of the Quiktrip's (Tulsa's largest convenience store chain) have cut back to 91.

What if......I tuned for 93, and used a mixture of 100 octane gas in each tank?

Anyone need some Powerball #'s?

Sharif just let me know that somehow I shot the moon with the bearings in my stock engine -- they're all to spec with the new forged bits

now, Karma's probably going to kick my *** and Virginia will switch to 85 octane or something
