Sunday July 14th CV/Palomares/Sunol Drive

[EAGLE5]

I did the math. 94 was cheaper on the day I did it. It's also way easier to just put the 94 in. Usually I don't bother going all the way out there, instead just using 91. I definitely feel a difference with 94, but I'm not sure it's worth the money on a stock tune. With mods, I'd go for E85 anyway since we have the option.

Well, we've had prior discussions about how the car prefers 94 octane and takes a performance hit when running 91. (Before anyone questions it once again, it's in the BRZ owner's manual.) Has anyone though done the calculations and figured out what is most cost effective... i.e. buy 8 gallons of 91 and then add 2 gallons of 100 (that was roughly what Robispec recommended to me in LV), or a full tank of 94, or other variations... like buy 5 gallons of 87 and 5 gallons of 100? Math makes my head hurt.

One time I pumped an entire tank of 100 and it was glorious!

Butt dyno and placebo effect be damned, I was flying!

That's for 92, though. For 91, you need twice as many gallons of 91 as 100 to get 94 octane, a 2:1 ratio.
$4.20 x 2 + $7.80 x 2 = $16.20, or $5.40 per gallon

To get 93 octane, you need a 3.5:1 ratio of 91 to 100.
$4.20 x 7 + $7.80 x 2 = $45, or $5 per gallon

$5.60 is the 94 price. Looks like mixing is cheaper.

Anybody else thinking? Looks like we've got:

Gas cocktail? I like.

Yep. I'll be there. Worst thing that can happen is I'll sit alone and cry into my iced chai latte.

This is a drive I can actually do for certain! Sundays are cleared out usually. Added it to my calendar.

[mkivsoopra]

added to my calendar too

FYI, this will have to be a cruise drive, not a high-speed blast. I'm not saying I'm going to exactly drive the limit, but there are too many bicyclists on the road on a typical Sunday morning to make going quickly a safe proposition. I suggest night driving if you want to go fast. I will, however, point out the fun places and dangerous corners. We had a motorcyclist die recently. Also, a Viper moron plunged his car into a power pole, knocking our power out for a day. Remember, don't be stupid.

Going to SF to see my daughter that weekend, daughter and I are looking forward to driving the cruise with all of you
