BUMP for Update!!!

I went there today. I guess word has got out about their gas station now, they had freshly painted the entire complex including pumps! I had a half tank of 91 before I got there so I filled the other half up with 100 octane. Believe me when I say it made a difference on my wrx TR with just 3inch catback!

and 100 octane price dropped from 6.299 to 5.799 overnight!!!

^14% of 250whp untuned = +35whp without AP!

I'm hooked; although driving around is seriously getting expensive, but much more fun.

edit: now I wanna try their 103! Let's get a drum and split it between you, me and Matt!

uhh, what is this supposed to mean? You trying to say you think you pick up +35whp by just throwing in higher octane?? :rotfl:

See the VP link for explanation of the "14%". Obviously, I was saying +35whp without a tune tongue in cheek, but I guess that went over your head. Nevertheless, just by filling up with 100 one will notice the benefits even without a tune.
