Stranger: I have an unopened 5 gallon container of Sunoco 104. Add it to regular premium gas, and you can turn up the boost a bit.

Come take me for a drive in your fancy pants new Audi, or visit me at my store and its yours.

I remember reading that the higher octane, the colder the spark needs to be or something like that, so presuming I'm on stock plugs/injectors, wouldn't my car just be wasting it?
On my car, it made about 600 (OK, 599...remember on 93 pump and close to 800 on C 16 (never dynoed the car on full kill but it was a night and day difference). OK, this is the part when my dear estranged friend Paulie jumps in).

This is quite true. You're just pouring money down the drain.

that's incredible. i can't imagine that i *imagine* the increase in power/pickup/whatever when i add a cpl/few gals of 100. really. maybe my old cargraphic tune is intuitive lol

add: aren't our cars setup stock ecu for 93? and we in Kali get 91 on a good day? whatever
