Dude if your mixing gas to save a dollar you should have gotten a Ford Focus or something.

Re: type of gas....

i don't think you can just mix gas and create the desired octane....

Re: type of gas....

yes you can.

thats how alot of gas-stations do it anyway, what do you think they really have 3 huge tanks underneath the pavement? most have just 2 and they are mixed at the pump, 93+87 to get 89 at the pump (rounding errors im assuming)

Re: type of gas....

I've seen a gas station with as many as 5 octane choices, and there were two hoses leading up to the nozzle. I'll leave the rest as an excercise for the reader. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: type of gas....

Yeah, I can't do good math. 89 and 93 should average to 91, not 89. That's what I originally meant.

Also, would it help performance or milage to use the straight 93 octane? I've heard that you only need to use a high enough octane so that the engine doesn't ping. Above that you are just throwing money away. Has anyone run a dyno on their car with the different octanes?
