Does anyone know of a gas station in the Kansas City area that sells 93 octane gas? Thanks.

ikstaak, check with BPSCM3 on dtm ..... i have been to some places that have high octane racing gas in KC but cant remember for the life of me exactly where they aret .....

they dont have 93 in KC? They dont have 91 here in stl. They have 87 89 and 93.

Go ahead, rub it in.

Well, I don't know if KC has 93. They don't have it where I live.

Lately I have heard a lot info on gasoline octance, cnn/petroleum institute. They says all grades or essentially the same! :dunno so don't buy exspensive one :az: . I'm still a skeptic of that, but here in Wichita, there is like only one gas station with 93 octance.

Here's a link to the most recent story about this - http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/classifieds/automotive/5597171.htm

There's an interesting comment in there from BMW basically saying they still recommend premium gas - no big surprise.

To me, it would appear that the moral of the story is use whatever level of octane which does not cause your car to knock....

:dunno

CITGO on Johnson Drive (about 3 blocks east of Metcalf) sells 100 octane at the pump. Another place on SW Boulevard sells higher octanes but I don't know the name.

Thanks! I'll try that.

BTW, octane doesn't matter until you get on it. Then BMWs high-compression engines need high octane. The DME will retard the timing to keep it from pinging with less-than-93 octane gas, but then performance suffers.
