    Ok, it seems as if there are a few stations around the city that now carry 93 octane gasoline, be it ethanol blended or non-oxy.

    So, I figure that the more business these places get, the better chances we have of keeping 93 octane available to us. Sure, I'm aware of where to get 100+ octane race gas, but that isn't an option for the vast majority of us.

    Please simply post the exact location (or just cross streets) where you have recently purchased 93, along with the brand of the station. I'll make the first post below of what I'm looking for.

    If for any reason in the future the station you post quits carrying 93, please edit your post.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: The primary purpose of this thread is for those of us who have engine management that is tuned for 93 octane (ie. Cobb AP). Please do not reply regarding anything such as 92 non-oxy. :)

    Good luck, man. I made a thread similar to this a long time ago by using ArcGIS to map out all the non-oxy stations based on the MNSSA list and another source (Minnesota Street Rods I think) I found. All I ever got in response was whining about wrong information. :roll:

    One cool way to approach this would be to insist that people give you ADDRESSES and then hack up a Google Maps thing similar to craigslist and other sites.

    Yes but stay away from it right now, it's no good. I believe due to the lack of snowmobilers buying it and the fuel getting stale.

    Do they make 93 non-oxy? If they do, I'm all over it. Until then, I'll just stick with the 92 non-oxy at B-Dale Spur (County RD B & Dale) Roseville. Only a block from my house!!! :D

    Please post 93 octane (or 94, but I doubt there is any around here other than 100+ race gas) locations only.

    There are a few other threads for finding lower grade non-oxy gas on this board.

    btw, this is from a guy at Holiday corporate:
    Mixture info for the Twin Cities
    Holiday 93 = 90% 91 octane base + 10% ethanol (110 octane)
    Holiday 92 = 65% 91 octane base + 25% 87 octane + 10% ethanol (110 octane)

    Don't!
    All fuel is required by law to have 10% ethanol in Minnesota. Thus the non-oxy (no ethanol) fuels are marked as "off-road use only".

    Thats why when you run the ethanol gas, you afr is off, and your fuels trims are always fighting.

    Although it has a higher octane, ethanol has less energy per volume than gasoline. Thus theoretically non-oxy has more energy per gallon than regular fuel. People have reported getting better fuel efficiency simply by switching to non-ethanol (non-oxy) fuel.

    I think WRX1's fuel trim comment would be correct as the ethanol is infused with oxygen. Thus to maintain an even stoichiometric burn, less air is required and your fuel trims will probably change to compensate.

    Also, ethanol has been blamed for certain types of engine and fueling system wear, although I think most modern cars can handle it no problems.

    The Holiday in Plymouth by 494 and Rockford Rd., 4075 Vinewood Lane
    , no longer has 93. I just filled up this morning and there were new 92 stickers on the pumps, the gold 93 lettering on the very bottom of the pump is even still there.
