Filled up with gas today and noticed that at one pump they were selling 100 Octane fuel. Anyone ever run this in their G???

 

We'll never see that kinda gas in Ca. we're lucky to have 91 proof....haha
Racing gas is available at some stations but it's super hi-buck and not
worth running in my G. We haven't seen 100 octane since the days of
Chevron Custom Supreme........that's all I ever ran. It had so much led
content it would turn the inside of your exhaust tips a light gray color.

 

Its not going to do anything of value. The factory tune is designed to run within 92 octane. Adding octane is useless unless you have the timing advance, compression, or boost to take advantage of it.

 

ive ran 100 octane last week!!!!
they have a pump redwood city that sells 100 octane.

 

Where???

 

SCC magazine saw a 5-7whp gain on their project 350Z going from 91 octane to 100 octane. These cars have overly sensitive knock sensors and running the higher octane (within reason), may help with power on these particular motors.

 

I try to keep a few gallons of 100 at home and put a little in each tank in the summer. 115 degree days in Phoenix are harsh.

 

We have a station here in Auburn that sells 101 and 110 octane I think

 

dont kill me... but what about the "octane boosts" sold everywhere? I'm never tried the stuff but wouldnt it have the same effects as useing a higher octane fuel? besides knowing the exact mixture are there any different advantages to actually finding a high octane fuel at a far off distant gas station?

 

I put 110 Octane I believe it was (Blue colored fluid) in my G35 2004 when I ran at the track and saw NO difference in track time or speed. Tank only had less than a 1/4 left when I put some in.

 

110 octane is most likely leaded. Pretty much any race fuel over 104 octane has lead in it to boost octane levels.

This is a case of too much of a good thing. Octane is a rating of the fuels resistance to burn. The higher the octane, the harder it is to burn. Without a super high compression, boost, etc, 100+ octane is overkill and chances are the car will make less power.

 

I can see how that could be possible since the internal condition of every motor is different. If the test car had a bit of carbonization etc. from running a bit rich, it could have been pulling timing to begin with. Hitting it with the 100 octane would allow the motor to go to full advance where it should have been anyway.

If they tested on a really new, recently broken in motor then I would be more convinced.

 

take the woodside exit torwards el camino go down about 2 miles its the 76 on your left!!!!!

 

115 degree days anywhere are harsh!

 

76 sells 100 octane in laguna hills,ca i fill up my G with it on occasion!!!
