No more 93 oct in Fargo??

unless you are extremely high performance to where you really need the high octane, any 91+oct will do around here. The best gasoline doesn't exist up in this area yet, and that is the "Top Tier Detergent Fuels" which are currently only offered in major metro areas. It will eventually make its way up here, but you will be ok with 91 or 92. I usually go to Jimmy's BP right off of 45th and interstate. They have 92 and is reasonably priced with others. You will not notice any difference between a 91 and 92 oct unless you are extremely high performanced.

I was told, or heard..
That the Octane Rating is the minimum of what the gas is, so for ex: if it's a minimum of 92, the actual octane reading could be 93, or 94, etc. -
Actually the software I have in the car is tuned for 100oct. I use an OBDII tool to scan for timing retard (or correction factor) and adjust it accordingly to run on regular pump gas through another program I have. For those wondering why, the 100oct mapping allows for max potential power from my setup (more aggressive fueling/timing).
So I am always in search of the highest octane pump gas around, since I can't justify throwing down ~$80 a tank for the 100; atleast not all the time.
When 93/94 oct pump was available to me I swear the car drove smoother; probably just placebo. Oh well, guess I'll deal with the 92 sauce.
I'm going to UND, so I'm in GF most of the time for those who asked.

I could be wrong...not just lines. E85 vehicles have also redesigned injectors, regulators and even pumps to handle the different fuel qualities. Typical repairs that I have done for vehicles that have been running E85 that were not designed for it is replacing eveything but the hard lines. Plastic lines have been replaced too in the past due to the corrosiveness of the fuel. Major thing that gets damaged the most are the injectors.

Major thing that gets damaged the most are the injectors.They recommend you replace the soft fuel lines, however this has been proven to be less of an issue in recent E85 formulations. Really all you need is injectors that are capable of flowing about 30% more than stock and an ECU capable of adjusting to the change.
I made the switch this past summer and will never go back.....race gas for less money than 89 octane? HELL YEAH!!
