That Agoura Hills 76 station is right by my hotel at work...maybe I'll fill the e36 up with it lol

about 15 mins away from the newport beach location =)

Good find. Subscribed. With the gas price still high i don't see a lot of people filling up their cars with this type of fuel.

[nismo skyline]

wish i had FI to take advantage of this type of fuel :(

[mbox]

that's great info...i'll check it out!

thanks dude!

[Laidback]

I gotta get some of this fuel:)

I have filled up my car at this gas station with 100 Octane Gas but the pump states that there is Ethanol in the gas.

Now will this hurt performance?

[Laidback]

That's a good question Gene...but iirc it's the amount of enthanol that is on the gas that hurt the perfomance and at 100 octane i think it should be ok...I have filled up my car at this gas station with 100 Octane Gas but the pump states that there is Ethanol in the gas.

SO is there no advantage to run race gas without F/I?

I haven't gotten it in NB for a while but my guess is a 16 gallon fillup = $128.00. Ouch...

[Laidback]

Imho yes but if your doing highway driving, if instead of using fuel cleaner...it cleans up the fuel lines aswell...I normally pump on 100 octane on long trips and really get the engine working double time...

does it really bro ?? i mean what feels diff???:confused:

[yellowfever]

j why are you posting race fuel when you cant even afford normal gas for dinner meet lol lol

[Laidback]

You will notice a difference in power (the car pulls better)\, my advise is to mix 100 octane from 91 to get 94 iirc 4 gallons of 100 and 12 gallons of 91...this will give you a little bit of push;)

i know, just can't justify spending money for it unless we go on a friendly run in canyons or something, but not just driving around.

[NeRwEEzy]

I did mix of 91/100 a couple times, time when there was a planned run and especially when breaking in a remap =)

[Laidback]

I won't suggest it driving around town as it can contribute to CB, it has to be spirited driving...i know, just can't justify spending money for it unless we go on a friendly run in canyons or something, but not just driving around.

[t3stman]

That's JR for you :D.

Well there is a NorCal trip coming up so fill some of these high octane in your car :rolleyes:
