is running 100 octane fuel in my car a bad idea? or is it gonna clean things up there?

 

Depends on whether you are talking european octane of US octane.

If you are in the US, 100 octane is a waste of money as your car requires 91 octane.

The higher the octane, the slower the gas burns and the more resistant to pre-=ignition.

Gasoline with higher octane does not "clean" your engine. Additives and "detergents" added to the gasoline help prevent engine deposits.

If you thing your engine needs "cleaning" run some techron or redline gas additive in your car's next fill.

 

but lower octane will give you more degrees of knock as higher octane elimates it unless you have a built engine then its good to run lower octane. there are chips programmed for 100 octane from giac bc i know i was asked which gas i wanted to use and that was the highest one you can get.

 

yea, i'm in california. we have a few 76 stations out here that sell 100 octane at the pump. i guess i won't get it though if it doesn't burn cleaner.

 

Does anyone know where to get some 100 octane from the pump in the new york area....towards westchester????

 

the only place I know to get 100 octane is at the race track

 

there's 76 stations in all the major metropolis areas that have 100 at the pump. well, they have one seperate pump for it. i've seen one in LA, and i used to live around the corner from one in San Jose. I've heard they have them in SF too.

i got some 112 from the motorcycle shop i used to work at and put it my friend's integra jdm type-r, it ripped.

 

just look online for major gas suplyers. you can look on sunoco for a closest dealer for race gas. here. higher gas won't cleen anything i have used toluene as an additive to cleen out me enginge it will also yeald a higher occtain #. i have also used seafoam to cleen my out my engine.
