Wagoneer855 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Why hell is 92 such a huge jump over 91?? In Canada 94 is always a ~16 cent difference over 87. It's an ethanol blend though, up to 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5wagon1717 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 91 is like 20 cents more here, but no one around here sells anything higher at the pumps. The 92 I got was pure gas (no ethanol) and like a dollar more The 100 octane was 8 something Luckily my buddy put it on his card so I lucked out on 10 gallons. HahaI've never run anything, but thought it would be fun and was curious on what you all have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagoneer855 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yikes. I know we're talking gallons and not liters but that's a huge price hike. Oh well, you're regular gas is still ridiculous cheap compared to ours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5wagon1717 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 How much is it up there? I thought it was killer here! Damn. Its 4.35 here (I pay 4.15 at the cardlock). Still killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snabb T5M Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 The 100 or 116 I get is unleaded and I pump straight into the car. The dragstrip has 116 in the 5 gallon jugs also but way too expensive. The 100 is $6.50 a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5wagon1717 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Its probably just another California rule. Because it's illegal here. And more expensive apparently. Lol Damn everything is illegal here. Did you notice any gains. Worse mileage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Did you notice any gains. Worse mileage? Lol. True Anyone dyno with race gas with our tunes? Does it actually help? As Che implied, a tune for normal pump gas (IPD is tuned for 93 afaik) won't get much benefit from higher octane. If you tune for it, you'll definitely be able to get more power out Your car will run it fine, performance gains probably no so much unless you run it several tanks and even then only in closed loop. Your mileage will go down for sure however. Which part didn't you understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5wagon1717 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well I added the 5 gallons if 92, and 100. Instantly I noticed that it didn't ping at lower rpm boost.....then I went and got 17 gallons of sunoco 104. It just seems to run smoother. Although I do notice that it's fading to 13-14:(. It did this before though. I hitting 17 tops...def pulls pretty hard. Smells like a jet. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5wagon1717 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah. I'm looking into why it's fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge_Brownie Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah. I'm looking into why it's fading. But you're not interested in why you are getting low RPM ping? That's also not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5wagon1717 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 It was my spark plugs. Odd because I just changed them about 2k ago but I put on some new coppers gapped at .25. No ping now. Now off to find why I'm fading. I'm thinking Its in the intercoolers pipes or cooler itself. Still all original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
