93 octane...

[JlyonsSTI]

Where are the gas stations that sell 93 octane... The previous owner of my car says that it is progamed to the 91 octane map, but in the owners manual it specifically says not to run 91 in a STI. Obviousley i'd prefer to run 93 and reprogram my map.......

Good luck with that. There are a couple in southern Maine. But I have never heard of not running 91 in an STi.

Plus, if it's tuned to 91, it will be fine

There s no 93 in maine masshas 93 and 94

This question will never die...... only way to get 93 in this state is either go to an air port or someone that sells racing fuel and water it down. Maine doesn't have it neither does the boarder towns of NH, probably its a good chance to say too that NH doesn't have it period. I still have a 6 gallon jug of strait 93 with no ethanol that I will gladly sell you for 80 bucks though.

I'm starting to realize the same. I'm going to get some VP "streetblaze" and mix it with 91. I've also was told that jet/airplane fuel is not good to run in our cars so I'd look into that before I'd put any inmy car.

The Depot in Sanford has 93...

Twitchels airport in Turner is what comes to mind off the top of my head for 93. Not sure if that's still going on.

Honestly. Run your 91 map and get used to it.

Citco on Main in Sanford has 93, same owner as the Depot.

Just bought 93 at a Sunoco in Portsmouth NH yesterday.

Two things: First, if your car is mapped specifically for 91 octane it will be just fine running that as long as it's a decent tune. Secondly, the OEM STI maps are compatible with 91 octane since that's all that is available in many parts of the country. There's a tremendous amount of adaptability in the OEM maps as well as on a good reflash of the stock ECU. You shouldn't have any problems with 91 as long as the tune was done by a competent tuner.

If you're really concerned with knock prevention methanol/water injection is likely more effective and cheaper than mixing race gas with your 91. I run 27psi daily on 91octane with methanol/water injection

I do miss Michigan though... 94 octane at every sunoco

There is a Sunoco in Randolph that has 93. That's where I go every week. It is across from IGA.

^Is it really 93? Or is it just 91 with a 93 label? Might want to check with the owner. But it would be cool if it was!! Not too far away from where I am

If your asking about Randolph it's legit. They sell race fuel as well. You would not know unless you ask.

 

[dflwrx]

Which race fuels do they sell?

102 or 104 unleaded?

I will have to get specifics(i only asked about 93). The guys that use it from my work informed me of them having race fuel.

Cool, I wonder if it's 110 leaded for sleds? That's often popular in areas that get more snowfall...
