Anyone ever used 100 + octane ?
Theres a lot of gas stations here in Los Angeles who sell high octane "racing fuel". It just so happens down the street on Olympic and Barrington they sell 100 octane. Its expensive as shat $4.99 a gallon. I put 3 gallons in my car one day just for the heck of it.
The car pulled much harder on the freeway. 4th gear is where I noticed the car is much faster, you get like 5 miles per gallon though
N/A cars dont gain much with higher octane...
My friends 600 HP Turbo Typhoon - A.K.A " AWD BEAST" gets at least 60 horsepower when he uses 109 octane. Regular pump fuel he dynoed in around 500 hp @ 4psi but when he puts racing fuel hes in the tens.

You guys in the east are lucky, you get 93 octane.
Out here in California we get 91 octane
I put 89 octance in my tank several times, my car drove as if the A/C was on.
We must have a sh*tload of cars out here in the WeST, theres no explanation for 91 vs. 93 or am I wrong, correct me.

It's all because of that MTBE crap they started a while back, before that, there was 93 in CA and it was like $0.99 per gallon

When I had my mustang I used to to put about 4 gallons of CAM2 Racing fuel in (104) and then fill up with 93 Octance. There was definately a noticeable difference, but its not really good for the engine because its a leaded fuel. I don't think I would ever try it on the TL
