Here in NM, 91 is the standard premium. When i lived in NJ, there was a sunoco that had a 100 octane pump that was the next town over. Then again though, nj's standard premium was 93.

91 Oct here in Arizona. You can find 100+ Racing gas, but it's about $5/gal.

I had to return a perf chip to the vendor due to detonation with the 91. The vendor couldn't believe I only had access to 91 max. Bummer, because I liked the way the car felt with the chip.

To make the high octane list* complete, it'd be great to hear from someone in:

Alaska
Hawaii
Iowa
Kansas
Maine
Minnesota
Montana
North Dakota
South Dakota
Wyoming

ARE there any 911s in North Dakota?

Thanks to all.

Regards,
Bob

Bob,

I'll give you the octane rating for Hawaii at the end of May if no one chimes in earlier. :-)

There are a couple Sunoco stations in Maryland (Baltimore and Towson, I believe) that supposedly sell 100.

Bob Prosser

Any idea what high octane is in Maryland? Any Marys out there driving Porsches?

Carrera GT

Well, I'm paying $2.40 or more for 91 that, aside from Unocal 76, still has MTBE. Thanks to some imbeciles at CARB and other quack environmentalist action groups making horrible blunders, California is a disaster area of pollution and runaway price gouging going without action by the government ... anyway ... my favourite solution ...

100-Octane gas stations from 76 (ironically some 100-Octane from 76 still carries MTBE as the oxygenate, but I don't use it in my jet ski, just the bike and cars... and then only in propotion to get me up to 93 Octane ... okay, now I got that off my chest ...)

If that doesn't work for you, just go to <a href="http://www.76.com," target="_blank">www.76.com,</a> click dealer locator, select "race fuel" and your zip, if you're out of luck it will give you a listing for your state.

Cheers,

Hey, that's a great tip! Thanks. I'll add that to the octane page I am working on.

In Iowa I generally see 91 with 92 available at AMOCO. As an aside Higher elevations can be deceptive as the elevation acts as an octane enhancer so a lower octane number is functionally equilavent of a higher number at sea level. This is small consolation when you leave Denver or Santa Fe and you know you'll be 4000' lower within a half a tankful.

Dave Thomas

St. Louis region - Illinois and Missouri - 93 commonly available.

Von Kiser

Kentucky pretty much offers 93 around the whole state....right now 93 octane is $1.64 a gallon. Of course I only run Chevron 93 in my 911,89 in the 525, and 89 in the 740.

I live on the beach here in So Calif. I WISH high altitude were the only reason for low octane (at 10' above seal level it's the same as it is at the continental divide: 91).

Going from bad to worse, apparently some tree hugger group here is lobbying to do away with high octane completely.

As example: <a href="http://www.nctimes.net/news/2002/20020829/60939.html" target="_blank">http://www.nctimes.net/news/2002/20020829/60939.html</a>

If it ever happens, I'm buying stock in the octane boost industry.
