Does anyone know where I can get some 100+ octane in DFW? I don't even care where I have to drive to get it, I wanna see what it does to my car on the drive to Austin saturday. :evil2

if they are still doing the Ennis drags you could go out there and buy 104 octane. Its usually starts friday at 8:00 i think.

Lovely :) , now I gotta burn off a whole tank of fuel in less than 2 days.

i dont think 104 octane fuel is gonna do anything for you... i think there was a study and it was determined using anything higher than the recommended grade doesnt have much benefit.... if you have a highly tuned forced induction engine, a high octane fuel might be beneficial but might have little benefit on a stock engine...

Really? I thought that whenever you can use a higher octane gas its for the better.

I used 104 octane when i went out to ennis a while back and it seemed to improve throttle reponse and the engine ran smoother.. so it seemed ..it could have just been in my head.

I dont think it would make much difference to try and put it in all the time but for a once in a while thing...it may be worth it??

You have been mislead into thinking that something higher than what is stated in your owners manual is better.

I think higher octane is better since you see guys dyno with regular gas get a certain amount of HP and then they dyno with a mixture of race and regular and getter higher numbers...thats just me though.

Ennis is the only place I know of too.

Of course, everything the government is absolute truth.

I'll try it and verify for myself.
