Gas matters?
This is a letter of love and peace; I will not lash out against anyone, and I will not use specific names of individuals or organizations that make wowserism socially acceptable. That said, let me merely point out that it is both frustrating and frightening to observe the extreme ignorance—no, idiocy—present in octane's orations. For openers, octane truly believes that superstition is no less credible than proven scientific principles. I hope you realize that that's just a namby-pamby pipe dream from a phlegmatic, mawkish pipe and that in the real world, if octane's whinges get any more meretricious, I expect they'll grow legs and attack me in my sleep. In the past, it was perfectly clear to everyone with insight and without malice that octane is adept at spinning lies. Unfortunately, there were a number of people who seemed to lack this insight at the right time or who, contrary to their better knowledge, contested and denied this truth.
Octane frequently insists that there is something intellectually provocative in the tired rehashing of officious stereotypes. This lie of its cannot stand the light of day, and a few minutes' reflection will suffice to show how utterly hotheaded a lie it is. Nonetheless, it acts as if it were King of the World. This hauteur is astonishing, staggering, and mind-boggling. Octane focuses on feelings rather than facts. Sure, it attempts to twist and distort facts to justify its feelings, but that just goes to show that octane is trying to exclude all people and proposals that oppose its predatory, obstreperous conjectures. Their mission? To promulgate partisan prejudice against others.
Octane insists that everything will be hunky-dory if we let it put the prisoners in charge of running the prison. Naturally, it gives no evidence whatsoever to support that parti pris. Perhaps that's because I know some uninformed miscreants who actually believe that lexiphanicism is the only alternative to chauvinism. Incredible? Those same people have told me that it's merely trying to make this world a better place in which to live. With such people roaming about, it should come as no surprise to you that there may be nothing we can do to prevent octane from making good on its word to twist the history, sociology, and anthropology disseminated by our mass media and in our children's textbooks. When we compare this disturbing conclusion to the comforting picture purveyed by its chums, we experience psychological stress or "cognitive dissonance". Our only recourse is to make a genuine contribution to human society. All of this once again proves the old saying that I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke octane to exploit other cultures for self-entertainment.

This thread is f'n hilarious! Yer all full of it. Everybody know CA gas comes from unicorns. Ever seen a unicorn? Of course you haven't because there's only one. They've got him chained up in a cellar somewhere in Calaveras Co. He pisses in a bucket all day long.
If your car is knocking on 91oct, talk to your tuner and have him dial it back a bit. Kep yer chit pickers off the MBC and save your motor. Trust me losing 10HP doesn't hurt as much as losing your motor.

A bit long winded but yep.
Basicly, Octane speaks to how fast the flame pattern across the burn, happens. So, the higher the octane, the slower the fuel burns, the more effecently it burns, and therefor has a higher threshold to 'knock/ping' or the act of self detonation.
Oddly, diesel works the other side of this. You want diesel to compress as vapor to the point it combusts, hence why diesel motors use thicker walls and heads.

I've done mixtures of about 3-4 gallons of 100 and filled the rest with 91 Octane (either Chevron or 76) and the car ran fantastic. I wouldn't run straight 100 octane for a full tank, but a mixture should should be fine.

Yes it is the same at every station... the 5 terminals in the bay area (sac, tracy, richmond, avon and san jose) are all on a proprietary pipeline from the Chevron Richmond refinery. So unless it comes from a 3rd party terminal like Kinder Morgan they will have our additive injecting into the gas from a Kinder Morgan line.
If that makes sense...
