100 octane at the pumps???? I was impressed with my 94.

lugnut · 03-23-2009, 11:37 PM

Damn, 100 octane?! I only knew of one station in NJ that offered that, a Sunoco in Toms River. I think that they stopped selling it though. I'm sticking with my sub $2 Shell 93 octane I suppose.

I am curious if their is an appreciable power difference w/ 100 octane over 91/93. Any Dyno geeks out there? Hell Nascar engines also run about 12:1 and they use 98 octane.

100 octane = $130 a tank

i think its pretty normal especially for guys cause I think its safe to say some of us actually named our cars.

Mine is Alessandra for Alessandra Ambrosio from Victoria Secret

I always fill up with 100 Octane. Here in Germany every second gas station has a 100 octane. On my car it even says not less than 95 octane.
How is it in the US?

Jaypod · 03-24-2009, 08:55 AM

your not supposed to use your cell phone near a gas pump!

The method for calculating the AKI (anti-knock index) is different in Europe than it is in the US.

Your 100 octane is roughly the same as the United States 93 octane, and your 95 is about the same as US 91.

We won't get into addatives and ethanol.
