Highest Octane, Pump Gas Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I need to know what the highest possible UNLEADED PUMP GAS. I heard a gas station here sells 110 unleaded octane gas. Is there any higher ones out there? Remember, it has to be unleaded and from a gas station.

[lagos]

why do u want anything that high, its not going to make the car run any better or faster. i run 94 in mine, thats the highest i can find. anything higher is probably race gas.

[JoKeRkId613]

I don't need to know it so that I can stick it in the 7A. If I'm not mistaken, my car runs perfectly fine with Regular 87 Octane(cheap stuff). I just want to know for my own knowledge. I know here they sell 110 pump gas and it's not race fuel. It's a normal gas station. So I wanted to know if it's higher in other states. unleaded pump gas. im not interested in the leaded and race fuel/jet fuel, etc. lol.

[Supersprynt]

I think most states are maxed out at 94, everyone I been in NY its 93. 110s rare.

[Mr_E]

110 MON?

Jeez that's high. Do they have aircraft landing there regularly to fill up?

[Supersprynt]

no we're RON.

The UK uses MON, Japan uses PON, we use RON, which is the average of the 2.

Are you talking about the Sunoco gas station on Okeechobee Road (US27)? If so then thats 110 Octane LEADED race fuel.

If you can get a hook up, go fill up at the airport on some Jet fuel.
A few friends of mine does this, but you can only get away with only 1-2 gallons, b4 somebody catches on to the missing gas.

UK is RON. I thought the US used MON which gives a lower (but more accurate) octane rating.

I think you've got it a little mixed up.

Our pumps say R+M/2 so we've actually got the average of RON and MON (aka PON "Pump Octane Number"). I thought everyone else uses RON (Research Octane Number). I've never heard of anyone using MON (Motor Octane Number).

[Supersprynt]

Ok I had it a lil mixed up. We're PON. Hey, theres only a lil line that changes a P from an R.

[Mr_E]

Of couse, yes. That's what you use over here.

Thanks for the clarification.

What ever it is, it's cheap...

[WannabeGT4]

By cheap do you mean inexpensive or do you mean of lower quality? 'cause the quality is just as good as everyone else just rated different. The price is cheap compared to you but not compared to what the middle easterners pay.

US (R+M)/2---vs---UK (RON)
87---------------------------90
89---------------------------92
91---------------------------95
92---------------------------96
94---------------------------98
96---------------------------100

[JoKeRkId613]

Hey J, how'd you find the research and motor numbers for the US?

[WannabeGT4]

They're aproximates from the table on this site:
http://www.btinternet.com/~madmole/Reference/RONMONPON.html
First result from RON MON google search.

I mean inexpensive. I have wet dreams about sub £2 gallons.

I have offical News that NAPA does indeeed sell 99 Octane, but only some big stores have it.

Not true...higher octane gas will make your car run better, it increases fuel economy and increases HP, it help stops pre detonation (knock) in hot engines, burns cleaner and produces less polution, I always run the highest octane I can find....usually 98Ron If I could find 110 Ron in the UK I`d use it. 100Ron is the highest we get here.

i used 104 unleaded US rated gas in my jetta running high boost at the drag strip

well i was talking about the orignal poster not needing anything higher then 87 octain in his st. turbo charged engines are different and benefit from higher octain, so i totally agree with you there.

[bindertch]

I found a place up in Washington state that sells 101 octane and others that sell the racing fuels. The 101 is $5 + though.

[CelicaZR]

I'm using 98 RON in my car
That is the highest Octane rating
in Australia up until last month,
when Shells introduced 100 RON.
I'm gonna try that out later, cause it's
still rare. But it has 5% ethanol

[GeEkBoY]

JoKeRkId613,

Your in Florida, E-85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) is sold in 2 private locations. E-85 has an octane rating of 100-105 - it's almost race gas and the goverment subsidizes it.

Kennedy Space Center
3rd St & Ave C
Kennedy Space Center, FL 32815

Hurlburt Field
Building 90043
Hurlburt Field, FL 32544

Good luck getting into those facilities though.

[playr158]

its not hard to get....
go to your local track they have it there but it will cost you over 5$ a gal.

i paid 5.50$ for 104 octane

[creis]

Washington state that sells 101 octane

where, I'll go check it out.

Oh sorry.....wrong end of the stick again!!!!!....yes an ST would be pointless running anything that high , it would benifit a little with lower emissions, but thats about it.
