[sumoboi7]

hey i tried searching and i couldnt find anything about where to get 100 octane gas in the bay area around san francisco and about how much the cost is. if any of you guys know please help me out. im preparing for when 91 octane gets even more retardedly high priced then it is currently. thanks guys.

[turbodcivic]

in san leandro off davis, theres a VP race gas station.


theyve got 100 and 110

i dont know the prices though

[DohcKA]

turbodcivic is right.... arent you also on the club4ag forums

[FaLKoN240]

There is one in Redwood City, which is right between SF and SJ.

It's on Woodside, it's a 76.

[handinpants]

100 octane gas is available at select 76 gas station locations, I believe it's on their website, but be ready to pay $8+ for a gallon...

[blownmotor]

Even closer Gotelli's speed shop SSF/San Bruno Area Don't know how much but they also carry C16 leaded and Obviously you're looking in the wrong places or not hard enough plus if the overall price of crude oil goes up then the overall price of gas is going to go up also including race/high octane gas and everything eles that comsumes gas. It affects the big picture.

[s14kouki44]

theres a gas station on 680, it's the exit right after the 2nd mission blvd exit if you're going towards sacramento.

they have many grades available up to 107 i believe

[sumoboi7]

coool thanks for all the help guys. i heard somewhere that race gas prices do not fluctuate but i could have heard wrong. i figure if im paying up the ass for 91 i might as well pay a little more to get the right octane for an sr20det. o and btw i am not on club4ag forums.

100 octane is not the correct octane for the sr20det... you will get better performance running 91 and most likely still run rich. if im correct the recommended fuel is 98 octane in japan, which is equivalent to 93.1 octane in the US. and we can get 94octane here for under $3.50 a gallon...

awesome list... if anyone is around here that doesnt know where to get 100 octane i can make a list of 2 whole places :rofl:

[sumoboi7]

100 octane is not the correct octane for the sr20det... you will get better performance running 91 and most likely still run rich. if im correct the recommended fuel is 98 octane in japan, which is equivalent to 93.1 octane in the US. and we can get 94octane here for under $3.50 a gallon...

i dont quite understand what you are saying. 93.1 octane is the same as 98 octane? and in the bay area all i can get is 91 octane at most stations. i read here on the forums that 100 octane made the car run better and had more power. also it lasted longer. not sure if this is true or not though. its just what i read. also i would LOVE if the gas around here cost ONLY 3.50... but no... its about 4.00 for 91. gas prices suck.:-/

[blitzkrgCT9A]

I think he meant 98RON = 93.1 octane here in U.S

[!Zar!]

There is one in Redwood City, which is right between SF and SJ.

It's on Woodside, it's a 76.

/thread .

[sumoboi7]

if 100 octane is not the right octane for my sr20 what could happen if i run it? im curious as to what might go wrong so maybe i could rethink what i want to do.

[Tomkun-s13]

Just make your own. A lot of muscle car guys and such do the same. Here is a link to check out. I don't know if its ever been posted before but oh well its a good bit of info.

Umm... Posting the link would help... Because it just makes you look silly.


There are threads on here as well as a few decent ones on rx7club.com regarding making your own fuel. Only problem is some employees will think you're trying to make meth when you are looking for certain chemicals.

[BoostinGST]

if 100 octane is not the right octane for my sr20 what could happen if i run it? im curious as to what might go wrong so maybe i could rethink what i want to do.run really rich, wasting extra gas for less hp... plus fouling out plugs and o2 sensor is possible. its just not a good idea, and definately not needed on a street tune.

[BoostinGST]

I think he meant 98RON = 93.1 octane here in U.Syeah, i didnt think anyone would get the 98RON = 93.1(R+M)/2
thats why i said in japan and in us... it cracks me up when all the ricers talk about japan being the motherland with 100octane going in every car, i always correct them as soon as they say something.

[srpowereds14]

Infineon raceway if your down for a drive lol they got it all you name it SUNOCO.

[sumoboi7]

cool. i just am curious to see how my car runs with octane close to what it was meant to be. if i mix 91 octane and 100 would it lower the octane closer to 98? also is the wun in infineon open to the public or is it on race days only?

[BoostinGST]

and as stated before you will prob. make more power off of 91 since they run rich from the factory.

[blownmotor]

Some people are just ignorant. Being it's a fairly stock Sr 91 doesn't hurt anyways never saw the point of higher octane ona a stock motor beside gas milage. only reason to run anything higher than 93 is if it's a built motor that's meant for race gas only or high boost where detonation is ocurring no matter what on 91/93

[srpowereds14]

Yes it is open to the public gotta pay with an atm the gas attendant is never there lol.

[sumoboi7]

well there is no 93 octane here so if any of you would like to tell me where i can get in the BAY AREA. then that would be nice. if you read my post i clearly said i t lasts longer. thats the main reason besides power that want higher octane. and i still dont get how 98 octane is the same as 93 octane. if it was the same wouldnt 93 octane be called 98 octane? someone please help me understand that.
