i found a while back, that xylene, toluene, and any form of alcohol would work well as an alternative for higher octane (do not read as higher chemical energy value, as we should all know by now that alcohol does not have a higher value), but they tend to corode plastic and rubber in higher concentrations. by this reasoning, one should not use more than 30% or so of any of the above unless they've made proper changes to the fuel systen

The dealer for Sunoco 104 unleaded is Curt with Curtis Oil. He sells it to Perf Auto and to Rick at Auto Specialties. If you want it in small quantities (less than a 15 gal barrel), call Rick, else call Curt.
PM me I have their numbers
Fvckin machine took my quarter

bah, you don't need 94 octane... silly stock motor guys....
i've heard rumor of 93, but i haven't bothered looking, 92 suits my needs at this point. besides, if nick (tufte and thompson), dave, matt, and nate can make the kind of power (or close to it) that their cars are capable of with 92, then i can be happy with it too.edit: sorry kevin ;), forgot you in the list

I've gotta rant.
So I go to Phillips 66 (Brady's Service) to get some 100oct. They wouldn't even sell it to me! The "mechanic" was trying to feed me shit about hardened seals, and how my engine would blow in my "little 6'er". It all started off with them telling me it was 100 LEADED, when it clearly says 100oct UNLEADED on the pump. After I snapped a pic of this on my phone and walk back to his desk, he tries to change his story. Damn, what a waste of a drive to Moorhead.
When I tried to explain to him that my car is indeed performance oriented with a bi-turbo motor and numerous mods, including upgraded fueling parts from the Rs4 in Europe. I got a "OH, Europe" reply. He through in "you probably have 22lb injectors, blah". I know my injectors flow at 350cc / 4bar, but I'm not sure what that converts to in lb/hr. However, it's definately enough to run 100oct.
I said, whatever I'll just go elsewhere. He replied with "too bad you can't find this anywhere else around here." I was pissed by now, and made a few smart ass comments (probably shouldn't have), and followed by telling him I could get Sunoco 104 at a couple different shops.
Morale... Don't go to those guys, they are a-holes. :mad:

wow. that is sad. did they even see your car? they obviously don't know anything. personally, i would've said, "i want to talk to the owner about how you're turning away a potential repeat customer worth $50 per sale."
actually... with higher octane, your car flows less fuel, so the injector comment is an example of his ignorance -
Foreigner? i doubt it. i could probably go over there and ask for 100 and theyd laugh at me and think i was stupid. I live a few blocks north of Bradys, their lot is always fulla old rusted out muscle cars. Oh well, theres more places i bet.

92 works for me too right now. After I bumped up from like 87-89, I noticed a significant decrease in "knocking" noise. I was pretty much just curious about the 94 octane thing.

There is 93 octane pump gas in West Fargo. I don't remember the name of the gas station but it's on the south side of Main after you go over the bridge in West Fargo. I have bought the 93 there before and they have pay at the pump so if you don't get there before 11 you can still get it. I think there was something on the building about it being a truck stop too.

hmmm...I'm gonna have to stop in there when I get back to town and see if they will sell it to me w/ my little ricer. Sorry to hear about the bad treatment though.
