My buudy told me acouple days ago that he went to get some 94 at sunoco and there was a blank space on the pump where it was and they said there getting rid of it. I went to get gas today and sure enough its 87-89-91 and ultra 93 now bbbbbbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…  
i bet all the other stations are gonna lower to 91 octane now and be like lame cali. just one more reason for my car to blow up hahha.

not selling enough… people want to have cheaper gas so they throw in some 91 because thast usually what high octane cars call for… like cadi northstar motors and stuff. people gettin by using the least amount possible. 94 isnt doing anything that 93 is doing. just deal with it.

I wonder what some e85 would be like as a performace fuel if you tuned a car to run it. I think it’s like 100 octane

it would be like running 100 octane… actually i think its like102 or so… just need to change a few things in the fuel system. but it owuld be sick to have a e85 car running like low 10’s GM would love that along with the mid west

I just put ultra 94 in my one vette today… is it just that station?

I’ve had a car tuned on 94 that didn’t ping, then used 93 another time and had it ping. I know its only one octane point, but i swear it makes a difference.

def mpg but not acceleration.

it cut alot of the politics and other biased garbage that people say and gave the facts.

the sunoco down the rocks has a 4 nozzle pump, you can get 94, 93, 89, or 87. But, if you look at the analog counter on the tank, there is only 2 tanks pumping to the pumps. When you pump 93, or 94, the one counter counts the gallons, when you run 87 or 89 the other counter runs.

Hahaha.

e85 made more peak horespwer and more peak torque than race 105 race gas. Hot rod just did a test on it in this months issue. it was on a carb motor, running about 12.5:1 compression. only small things were needed to be changed to run e85.

as for efi cars. my brother said the only difference he noticed on e85 equipped cars soo far is a sensor in the fuel line that dectets what kind of gas it is, and the compter makes adjs for it. when u run e85 the car will use more fuel to burn than normal gas
