We are quite lucky over here. We readily get 97. But seeing as our fuel prices are up to 5 times more over here, it's nothing to be happy about! Boo!

I think YOU are high!!!

I have to look hard right not to find premium for $1.99.
The place by my house is $2.15......and all we get is 91

Try that on for size.

Use the highest Octane at the pump usually 91 or higher and it doesn't hurt to find a Chevron, the Techron in their gasoline will help with injectors. Also, if you get some racing fuel, do a 50/50 mix to play it a little safe. I always say, better safe than sorry.

Sunoco 94 when I can.... otherwise, any 93. There's a Sunoco in my area that offers 100 octane gas, haven't had a chance to try it out yet though.

I try to only use 93 Chevron with Techron, unless I have no other options.

93 Octane all the way!

Although, some of the gas stations here will try to sell you 92 for the same price. You have to know which places to go in order to get the better grade.

We have race fuel (100 octane) available in a few places as well. Good for race days or when you want to "clean" out your tank!

Being I live in Cali it's hard to find good gas.


But I have a tank full of 100 Octane right now. Cost me 4.19 per gallon though.

I think that I am lucky because I live in Iceland, Europe, and here you can get 101-105 octane on the pump but usually I just use 98 octane

101-105 octane cost about $1,47 per liter or about $4,4 per gallon.
