Not sure if this is a big deal or not. Since I havent seen 93 octane a lot around here. I stopped at a Bp down in Savage? on 13 (two buildings from Buffalo Tap) and they had 93. There is another Bp a little bigger about a block from there but never stopped there to see what they have. Just thought I would share since all I ever see is 91 and 92 octane. Dave
Seems like the winter blends have crept into most tanks now. I've seen my MPG drop a bit without any change in driving behavior.
yeah I have noticed decline in mpg too. I am thinking about putting like 14 gal of 92 and a gal of 100 octane once in a while. My iam is still at 15.
^^^yeah, I recently learned if I don't add a bottle of stp octane booster to my tank each fill i get knock at wot. :eek4:
There's a Holiday station in Fridley off of Central and Moore Lake (1 block from 694) that has 93 octane.
There's nothing better about non-oxy gas. The only benefit is if you are at 100% injector duty cycles since you will have to flow slightly less fuel with non-oxy.
Where are the non- oxy stations?? Do you think that I need another stage 2 performance reflash for the winter to go along with the fuel change?
All we had in Virginia Beach was 93 for high octane, I noticed that right when I moved here that we get the cheap stuff.
"Oxygenated gasoline" is a mixture of conventional gasoline and one or more combustible liquids which contain oxygen ("oxygenates"). At present, ethanol is the most common oxygenate in the United States. The government requires gasoline to be oxygenated during the winter in areas that have a carbon monoxide pollution problem (cold weather and atmospheric inversions worsen carbon monoxide pollution). Oxygenated gasoline helps engines run leaner, which helps engines, particularly older engines, produce less carbon monoxide.
And probably also why my car (bone stock 02 WRX) seems to make more power when I mix 20% E-85 in the tank.
