I can't find it anywhere. Best I can do is 92. Does this really matter that much?

I can only find 91 so if I could locate 92 I would go with it and definitely go with 93 it is was around also. Now I would want to stick to a reputable brand also, I like Union 76, then Chevron.

Great thing about Florida is that we have 93 everywhere.

boooo

You would think we would here in California too with all of the refineries around, especially where I live, but we don't. But if anyone in the S.F. bay area knows of a station with 93 let me know

Orient Express

In California, the best way to get 93 is to mix 3:1 of 91 and 100 gas. This is what I do. There is a Union 76 on Almaden Expressway in San Jose that sells 100 gas.

I only use 93. I never have any trouble finding it in the midwest.

I use Chevron 93 octane in all of my cars and bikes (down here in Texas).

California prohibits the sale of higher than 91 octane for large production. You can purchase 100 in very rare locations.

In the San Jose, CA area it's the 76 at Almaden Expressway and Foxworthy.

.....Or....go buy five gallons of Toluene at Sherwin Williams and add a gallon to a tank...there's a forumula for adding X amount to bump up the octane. I run a bit Toluene in every tank of gas in my 930 to keep it from detonating when it gets hot around here.

Remember though...it's highly volatile so watch how and where you store it. I think straight toluene is 114 octane. Here's an interesting article on the subject that I found very informative and useful: http://www.elektro.com/~audi/audi/toluene.html.

My apologies in advance if it's a reprint from a previous post somewhere.

Check out Street Blaze, street legal fuel from *VP Racing Fuels in San Antonio, official fuel supplier of the ALMS, btw:

You can run 91 and the car will adjust accordingly. You will lose some power but nothing you will feel significantly.

Every tank.
