I used to go to Chevron in HI because it was close but yeah that 76 station is the truth.

Here in OH we have no 76 so I go with Shell. There are a bunch of Sunoco stations here that do 94 though.

93 is the standard premium here in OH which has been making me want to buy a netbook and my own tactrix cable so I can flash from 91 to 93 maps when necessary. For safety, I run a 91 map. Then again if we only get like 100 flashes that may not be a great idea.

Cool, thanks Chris. PM sent. Did you mean worth? Dunno... long days of work lately The gas mileage gets better as the car's system gets used to it. There's also an additive for the oil...

Interesting, so it HAS been tested on modified cars? Hmm, need to get off my butt and start researching. I'm going to order a batch this week or maybe next. My mom's Plymouth voyager is a 3.3L engine, and will see if they notice anything good/bad.

I don't know what the King St. 76 gas station uses, but I was thinking of getting some good 'ole 100 octane even though gas is slowly going up these days. I found a Rockett Brand Race fuel site that showed how much octane your gas would be if you mixed it to our 92 octane by gallons. According to my car's fuel tank capacity of 13.5 gallons, if I were to mix 100 octane with 92 at a 50/50 ratio, I would get 96-ish octane altogether. Just to give an idea of what you're getting when you blend both gasoline.

http://www.rockettbrand.com/techsupp...ndingChart.pdf

Just adding 100 octane in your fuel tank won't give you more power. To get the best results, you need to get it tuned (i.e. advance ignition timing and lean fuel enrichment).

love,

joe
