93 OCT in Minn.???

I was reading through some post and someone said they were tuned on 92, please tell me 93 is offered up there and its not like CA or AZ?? Right now I'm custom tuned on 93 and really dont want to have my tuner retune until i do more work on the car....

 

92 will probably be the highest you'll see in unleaded form.
You can usually find pumps here and there that do non-oxy.
91 is definitely your best bet.

 

well i guess that brings up my next question... whos a good tuner in the area? unfortunitly my guy lives in WA and just makes a trip to chicago once every month or so.

 

Get 92 from any BP station. It's the best fuel we have around here from my experience with tuning.

In fact, the 92 BP is actually something like 92.89 octane or something like that from what I've read.....so you'll probably be fine.

However, it would be a good idea to have somebody doublecheck your previous tuner's work.

 

If you're looking for a good non-professional, contact Bullwinkle on here.
If you want a shop, contact RS Motors or Jordan from MAP?

 

The BP gas station off of 52, the petro pumper right by the refinery has 93 oct. I think its in Coats?

 

the Super america right down the road offers 100 Octaine

 

But its watery crap, and this thread isnt about 100.

 

Good job at answering the original question.

 

now thats what I'm talking about... do they offer any 110 at like small airports or local tracks?

 

you can get 110 torco race gas LEADED at Holiday on Nicollet Ave in bloomington. It's 2 block south of 494.

btw- it's 6.75 per gallon

 

thanks

 

I never really run the 100 stuff cuz most place just add ethnol to 93 to get it there... 110 leaded once UP is replaces with aftermarket catless.

Which brings up another question, once i move up there and renew my plates and registration do the do emission checking?

 

the 100 oct at the shell station off of 169 in newhope is the real deal, its non-oxy

 

No emmissions testing here.

Do you have a special map for race gas? If not, you are wasting your time and money buying 100+ octane fuel.

 

only time i ran it was on the track while my tuner was there we just tuned up for it ran for a bit then installed the old 93 map for the trip home

I want to thank you guys for the feed back besides the lack of 93 oct and freezing ass temps I'm getting excited for the move

 

welcome to MN, btw.... the cold keeps most of the riff raff out. kills ticks, and other pests and is enjoyed by long coat dogs, bears and other aminals that have adapted to the severe winter climate, (you have yet to see cold):biggrin:

most of the local shops will charge by the hour, so if you are just comfirming wether your tune is good for 92 octane then I don't think it would cost that much for the reasurence that would be provided.:biggrin:

 

I used to get 93 at Holiday off of Hennepin and Central avenue...but just about everyone on this site has beef with holiday. There are other 93 places, but not as easy to find as you would hope for.

 

keep it on topic boys he asked about gas,if he wants to know about the weather he can walk outside.

 

well, he could have fuel shipped to him?

 

lolz.

 

+1, our 92 octane gas also has ~10% (usually more like 15%) ethanol. It's pretty good gas, you can run a good amount of timing on it.

 

he mentioned the weather himself first, then someone made a comment... :roll: and if he wanted to know exactly what gas is where he could also pull into a gas station :dunno:

 

and your post has just as little relativity...

you all can start a weather thread in off topic then.

 

done.......

your best bet is to get a daily driven tooon and a track tune with fuel of your choice.

(I won as per bullwinkle)

 

YEA!!! thats mah station! its the only place i fill up at.
if it closed down i would :emo::emo:

 

Mills Fleet Farm, 91 non-oxy at the pump FTW.

 

I never understood this. Oxygenated gas will get you better performance. The only thing non-oxy gas will get you is better gas mileage.

 

there is 93 holiday gas at the holiday in wayzata... youre better off with BP92

 

That and why if 92 with oxy is bad why is everyone so willing to tune for E-85.

My not so professional logging as WOT and Bull has shown the same thing. My car likes BP 92 with ethanol the best.

 

They're sister station in wayzata closed down. I've been known to get a tank of 100 before a trip up north so that when I fill up on 91 up there it stays above the 92/93 toonS I have.

 

Im sure it doesnt help you much, but down in SEMN, the BP in St. Charles has 93 octane

 

Not sure about 93 anymore. If some BP/Shell stations have it they seem to be about 60-90 miles outside of the cities. I know for every octane point they put above 91 the consumer will pay approximately .10c more so that may be the reason for the lack of support the closer you get in the Cities.

There used to be a BP on 96 and Hwy 35E that carried 93 but they demolished that location and put a Holiday up (sigh).

I would either use BP 92 or Shell 92, stay away from Non-oxy since our cars are forced induction and we get a performance benefit from the reduction in intake temperatures due to the ethanol content mixed with the 92 octane fuel. Unless you are tuned for Non-oxy and/or are looking for better mileage, stick with BP or Shell 92 octane oxygenated gas.

I would love to see people petition a few stations around the Cities whether they be BP or Shell to carry 93 octane, 100 octane and E85, and in turn see people on here, MNSportcompacts and Evomn.net patronize them as a reward for carrying the variety.

 

Because ethanol ****s with carbs and isn't too great for rubber in general. And fuel economy.

I can get 93 from the holiday down the street (the one on Hennepin next to Kolwalskis)
The shell on 46th and Chicago.

 

Yeah but it's really bad gas. My brother used it once and worked great! Filled it up again in a few days and it started knocking. I would not count 4Season Race Gas.

I buy gas every week at the gas station but the difference between 91 and 92 would not effect a thing. The 91Oct I get and use at my gas station is actually close to 92 but the state rounds it down considering it as 91Oct.

 

CONFIRMED 11/11/2008 -

The SHELL on the corner of Chicago Ave./46th St. in Minneapolis has 93 octane.

 

[Great, fresh 93oct can be had in Durand, WI.]

BP's with 93 seem rare around here...lots of 92oct. I axed Nate to be conservative with my 91oct tune assuming I will inevitably have to feed it a fair amount of this flavor gas traversing the hinterlands. The Souparu gets a boner when it finds a 93oct pump.
