I found 93 octane! Its at Valero right in newport. Who knew? Looks like I need a new tune

 

[STInate]

Did you double check it?

 

[Nicklepage1010]

I even went so far as to ask the owner of the store! He said that its what he puts in his new challenger so he's sure its 93

Is the store owned by Mapes ?

 

[Nicklepage1010]

Not sure what mapes is, but the store owners last name is lovely

 

[MAINIAC XV]

Mapes is a company that owns many conveinence/ gas stations in Maine. Is Mr. Lovely owner or manager ?

 

[Nicklepage1010]

He's the owner, he owns the better part of newport stores/places to go.

Hmmm... Honestly, I still doubt it's 93.

 

[Nicklepage1010]

Pump says 93, OWNER (guy that pays to have it delivered) says its 93, what's to doubt?

 

[Nicklepage1010]

Are there any tests or anything I can run? It seems too good to be true to have it RIGHT down the road

Used to be that the farther north in the state you went, the better the gas was, and they were the last in the state to get rid of the good gas, so it would be great if they started to get it back!

north gas is bad, I have blamed everything from the hampden dumpsite to alkalinic trees squeezing crud...

it is the darn gas.

Just yesterday I helped swap out 175 pound catalyst convertors on my dads rig for nearly open mufflers. Far from a hot rodders gimmick mind you...something is just outright nasty. Noticed it in 2008 and onward... even my hypermilers buggy (old sube) got challenged.

oh, if you like big turbos, here is a few sounds after install... seems much more free, and quieter in the cab.

if they made a super diesel like 93 to a car, this driver would buy it.

Usually you can tell the difference by the smell
