101 Octane gas station? will our cars blow up? :)
 

Well, probably our cars will not blow up, but I did not risk it at 101 octane :)

Buuuut, I "installed" 94 octane and my 2017 '86 feels so smooth...I hope I don't get addicted to $5+ / gal gas :)

Would anything bad happen at 101 octane?

Yeah I used to go here a lot back when Palomares was open.

Gonna have to start going down there for 94 again.

No, I've tried it multiple times. Nothing "bad" happens, but there's not really any point into filling up with anything over 94. (Unless you have a specific custom tune for something over 94)

I'm glad you blurred/censored that 101 price out because those prices are scandalous. Wouldn't adding xylene/toluene and marvel mystery oil mix be a much cheaper option?

Hehe...no blur, just reflection...it was $6.99/gal :)

The stickers on the buttons and the mismatched names look like someone was sniffing the high octane gas when labeling them :)

650 miles from here to that gas station one way. How the heck do you have that in CA?

I used http://find93.com

I meant those octane ratings. 91 is the highest around here. I'd love just having 94, and it would be fun to compare E85 to 101.

87 to 94 nearly double the price :confused0068::eyebulge:

Is that 98 just some 86 rotated 180 degrees? That 8 looks weird.

101?? What is that in canadian nomenclature?

101. There is a station near my trailer that has it. Cost you $5 a liter though.
Waste of money unless you are tuned to use it.

That's exactly what it is. You can see the calculation method upside down at the bottom of the sticker.

What's also confusing is the name vs octane. It would make more sense to me if it went: Regular 87, Supreme 94, Extra Supreme 96, Ultra Supreme 98 then Racing 101. But hey, what do I know, I live on the right coast.
