Chevron Techron, or Shell V Power, with a few gallons of 100 octane racing gas.

All the major brand stations around here (Puyallup, WA) sell premium that is 92 octane. Don't know why they don't carry the 93. However, I found a Cenex that sells 94 octane premium. I was a little hesitant to try it at first, but have been running it in the car for about 2 months now with no problem. It really seems to like the 2 extra octane points.

I think the ECU is smart enough to avoid the pinging with 91/92...but the car was actually designed to run on 93 (which we can't get in CA). OM specifies 93, so I mix in 3-4 gallons of 100 to bring it up. But the 100 is Exxxxxxpensive, I was paying $8.50/gal at Union 76, but just found VP Racing for $6.99, so I'm feeling a little better even though $7/gal is still F***ing expensive. But, then again this is the only car I've ever owned that I don't mind spending money on.
