Re: EP's can hold more than 13.2 gallons of fuel............ (George Knighton)
The bottom line is look into the Owners Manual and find what the manufacturer recommends for fuel. If they recommend regular (87 octane) then that's your answer..

Well, if Jack/B18CXr says it, I think that pretty much puts it to rest.
Jack has a dyno at his shop and I am sure he must have tested it if he asserts it with such a certainty.

Haha, gas here was $2.25 for 87 about 3 months ago, not its like $1.78 unless you go to Arco like i do, then its $1.49, cheapest gas in the Bay Area by 20 cents a gal.

what about Hondata.
What about it?
Ive run 100+ octane at the track and it DOES make a difference
once again, anything higher than 87 or 88 WILL NOT INCREASE POWER in anyway shape or form if your using a STOCK A3

Re: EP's can hold more than 13.2 gallons of fuel............ (anjapower)
our 100 octane pump gas at 76 is 6.50 per/gallon and ive heard gains of as much as .5 seconds in the 1320... reg 87 is 2.20 per gall... but yes 100 octane does make a difference..

If peeps would read, I never said anything about running a chipped ECU.

I hear you on that... where I live in PA it is around 1.60 per gallon, and if I got to NY state it is like 1.65 for 87.

Re: EP's can hold more than 13.2 gallons of fuel............ (taikahn)
I saw a dyno of a stock EP3 making 2-3 more horses with higher octane fuel. Typical variation between runs? Sensitive knock sensor? I don't know. Just some food for thought.

As I said before has anyone had the issue with the EP where it reads empty but you still have like 4 gallons in the tank when you fill up?
