this has a better view...

 

word

pumps 9 & 10

 

+1 for that place. its close to the freeway and the pumps are the closest to the street. it was 5.19/gallon when I got it last month

 

better check and give them a call first to make sure the pump isnt out of order. last time i went they were out.

 

so you pay an extra $20 for 7 measly points of octane? you can buy 3 bottles of octane booster for that, and it will give you a higher rating than 100 so you dont have to use the whole bottle each time.

 

though some people have had luck with octane boosters, I really have not seen any anything significant from them and in my mind they are a waste of money. ive heard from some other people that they sluge up the engines as well. word of mouth so dont quote me on that. plus, its 9 octane higher for us since we are in california. 91 + 9 = 100

 

and those 9 "measly" points of octane have been proven to add as much as 10-20 whp on some cars. so I can see how it is worth spending that much per gallon.

 

Only assuming that the car has been tuned to run on 100 octane. You will not gain 10-20 hp by just throwing 100 in a stock car.

 

Actually, octane boosters that you buy at your car parts store will never get you close to 100 octane. those "points" that they claim to raise is not based on the same scale as your standard octane. raising 3-5 "points" does not mean it will necessarily turn 87 octane into 92.

here is a good article to start your research with. Although there is plenty of other stuff out there that is good reading as well.

oh, well i used to mix race gas with normal gas for my dirtbike, then i just decided to use octane booster. felt the same and no pinging noises. i guess its different with 280cc's
Ive used acetone with no ping or knock, heard it makes it harder to ignite i think it works. $1 at walmart

 

The STI pings on hot days with 91 octane thats why i want to mix in 100.

I figure with 12 gallons of 91 + 4 gallons of 100 probably have it run super smooth.

 

Stupid Firefox, wont let me log out. The above posts are by me....

Octane boost = Snake oil... ;P

 

octane booster FTL

my 100 octane map gives me 15 extra whp and 30 extra lb-ft of torque
