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? (this gas station in Sunol, CA - SF Bay Area) |

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

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

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.
