Where do you guys get gas?

[nando]

that's not entirely true, I've filled up cars at AM/PM before that would barely even run on their shit (it's watered down quite a bit).

[mph]

Sunoco 89 in the 325ix and Sunoco 94 or 100 (if prices ever come back down) in the 325ic.

Where you digging up the 100 at? Other than when I mix it with a half tank of 94 at Mid Ohio, I haven't been able to find it in the state.

The Sunoco at the corner of Route 82 and 83 carries it.

Chevron exclusively (has Techron-good stuff).

...hell ya the best shit. 89 octane.

[bimmer8604]

i also mix a couple gallons of super 98 or 110 with my fill-up... i think people should consider this at some point... a 5 gallon jug in the garage costs maybe 20 bucks to fill or less.... and if you're running a chip you might be going semi-lean in places...solves detonation problems... a cheap fix and the car runs better at high rpms, which hopefully we all see regularly...

[shahe]

at my gas station, cuase its at cost :)

union 76, bitches.

[benDASHDASH]

Usually 76 with 87 octane because its costs considerably less than Cheveron.

Premium down here just dropped below two bucks a gallon.
I put gas in the Talon last night for $1.99/9

That must be nice :o
here in my area of california the lowest I've seen is 1.93 per gal. and that's 87.

[gstuning]

I pumped on some good 100oct led gas the other day

Get ready for this
a Gallon of it is .......................... $7.47

[Ryan Stewart]

That isnt even twice what 100 low lead costs here. About $4.60.

Better gas doesn't make the car run any more rich though. And almost all chips that are OTS are for 91 octane, no need to run like 94-96 on them.

.....you forgot to mention that it will complety destroy your cat...and possibly your muffler by doing this. ;)

-car doesn't run more rich, but it does solve detonation (particularly at high RPM's). Just because a chip is designedfor a specific gas requirement doesn't mean it won't have places in the fuel map that can hurt your motor. I've seen cars with stock engines and a JC chip plug into a scope and there was detonation... when i had my 2.3 liter engine, and a chip, my mechanic had fixed something one day and took it out to test drive it, he heard pinging, and i didn't have any internal engine mods and it was on a chip that was "supposed" to be safe on 91 octaine... could have been a bad batch of gas or whatever else, but it does happen.
- i don't know where you're buying your gas... it's about 2.10 here for Chevron 91, which is the best i can get here in oregon. Super 98 race gas at the local distributor is about 3.05 a gallon...
- I don't have a cat... and i'm not worried about it hurting a borla muffler, nor a stock one for that matter...your engine burns hotter, cleaner... especially if you're running an un-leaded higher octaine gas... if you're right then how do the Euro guys get away with 98 ron + ???

[nando]

we've been over this already.. the RON numbers are not comparable to our octane, because we use an average of RON and MON measurements.

[parkerbink]

Semi on this subject anyone know if there is a BP or affiliated station in Laredo, Tx.?

I tried to look on their site and got nowhere. I have a 5.00 gas card from them and would like to use it next trip.

Thanks
