If you are not turboed running high boost there isn't a need for 100+ octane gas. Most of the race gas are leaded and that will foul your O2 sensors quick.

I think the general consensus is that octane booster additives don't work and are just a waste of money. Think about it, if you have close to 13 gallons in the tank, a few ounces of octane booster aren't going to make a difference in the octane of the gas. If you really want to increase octane, just mix some race gas (100 octane) with the premium stuff.

Good ole 91 for the same reason at the others in California......

I'm just glad I don't have to pay as much as you poor SF area guys.

BP/Amoco 93 or Mobil (I think) 92 depending on which station I hit.

Will a 100 octane or higher unleaded racing fuel boost the performance my car at all? Will it harm my car?
