Default Solution to 3$ for 89 Octane Gas

Here is my plan to get the best deal. It is called CAM 2. Locally going for only 3.00 a gallon, 110 Octane.

My argument is, you are paying 3.00 either way. Why not run more boost?

Because you're not going to get more boost. You need to run the lowest octane you can without detonation. Now if you up the compression and advance the timing, that's another issue.

You can run more boost with higher octane.

Or for NA, Timing, and Compression

Hyper,
I am shopping for a 300 gallon tank to put in my back yard. That should last me about three or four weekends! Wonder if the insurance company would have a problem with that?

Yeah, too high of an octane will actualy slow you down .
For the guys that need the octane , buy the 100 aviation gas . I'll bet you can get that for well under $2 ..

WHat am I going to do with 6 - 55 gallon drums in the back of my truck every weekend ......
