with an S^2 reflash, you also get a cold pepsi (may be substituted) and a cool S^2 sticker. seriously though, what you'd get with an S-Squared reflash is a custom tuned map for your specific car vs. the cobb map which is tuned to the lowest common denominator.

$5.69 this morning.
I checked it out this morning, too.

It's the outboard pump facing Watt Ave, housed alongside the green diesel nozzle.

I don't have the mods or a tune that warrants that sort of octane but maybe I'll ask to use someone's Delta Dash to make a track map. Just a few degrees of ignition advance should boost the torque enough to notice.

too bad it's so damn expensive. my car ran a lot better on the good gas in oregon and washington. to mix up some 93 at that station would cost about $3 per gallon using a 70/30 mix.

Yeah. Still, it's nice to have the option of race gas locally at a pump, 24/7.

It is expensive but I'm willing to pay a little more to avoid messing with the 5 gallon jugs and spilling ish on my paint and clothing. I'd try the jugs if the difference is a lot, though.
