if you are in san jose you can find 100 octane at this 76

3010 Almaden Expressway

it's alot cheaper than the 100 octane at the 76 in mccully which was 8 bucks a gallon when i went back. over here it's something like 5 dollars a gallon

$5.69. I just filled up. There is another 76 in RWC off of El Camino with 100; I do not know the price. Speed Merchants, now called Goodie's, in San Jose sells 100, 110, 112, 116, etc., by the 5-gal jug.

What are you running that you'd like >91?

ahh loose money. haha well judging by your signature...an 808supraclub maybe? lol. anyway i found a 76 in redwood city that pumps out 100 octane. i dont like the idea of having to drive 50 miles home and back just to get some gas. but gotta do what you gotta do. im gonna just do a mix. 5 gallons 100 octane and 10 gallons regular. so everytime i need gas imma have to bring a calculator >.<. anyhow hopefully well be seeing my z in the bay area around soon ;-).

i got to city college of san fran

You can buy VP100 at the 76 in Livermore on Vasco. I think it's 6.25 a gal an comes in 5 gal cans. That the part I don't like... the tranfer. At Infineon of course you can pump 100 110 and I think 114. Further out, Sacramento Raceway on the way to Tahoe you can get 100 110 114 or 118 ... again in the can.

Do you mean Blaze Street? Where is that? What's it go for? Is it 76 in the pump?

The 350Z NEEDS (for high performance DRIVING) 92++ octane (NOT just 92)

My Z --I ran 15gals. 92 and added 2.5gals. of 100 = 92.6 octane
reason for that mix was that the race octane guy from the old 76 gave me a formula (which I do not have any longer)
To mix above in tank worked ---Sometimes i would go 10gals. 92 and 5gals. 100 because i was driving more then 350 to 400 miles before getting to 100 octane again. So i would run 150 to 200 miles and put in enough Gas to get me home.
It takes the computer around 300 miles to re -adjust -- if octane got to low the car would knock BAD

ViP 100 also at 76 On Alcosta San Ramon /Dublin Line east 1/2 mile from I-680

Addtional Information;



Many times it's cheaper to get 110 and mix with that .... Just make sure it's unleaded formula or you'll be sorry. I'm pretty sure I've seen that in VP. I'll check....

Yep, but it's effectively .... 109

MS 100 is the same as Streetblaze from what I understand.
Below are the specs:

This is what I have been using. I'd like to find MS109 but it is hard to come by.... Go Figure ;-(

ok i have a question, I've always heard about higher octane gas but i thought it was harmful to the engine? I'm pretty much stock would getting 91+ be harmful or dangerous.

in hawaii we have 92 octane. but my car is tuned for 92 octane so thats what i gotta run.

Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Nah, you can easily take 95-100 Octane. Personally, I can't see wasting the money so I add 5gals(100) to 10gal in the tank for ~95 Oct.

At the track in my Firebird I run 10gals(100) to 5gal in the tank or that mix for 97.5 Octane. It save a little money and is good for a couple tenths in that car. At $5 a gallon it does save from $15-30 a tank.

For our race car we were using leaded 114 straight. Now I think we're looking at the 118 stuff with the new motor build but, I hope not.

Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Let me add. In most stock 350Z 91 Octane is all you need unless you are racing then you might want to bump up the octane so that your computer will throw in more advance and you won't go to knock retard condition. Mostly is a stock Z you just want to make sure you keep it out of knock retard condition so a dab will do ya. Maybe 2.5gal per tank as the poster above states is all you really need to bump it up a point or two. That's what you have to figure out. ;-)

The other thing to consider for drag strip and limitted road course work is running less total gas and adjusting the mix accordingly. This save weight and helps improve times.
