The most commonly used IMO is 116 octane, VP Racing is one of the suppliers of this fuel, among many others. I have access to Turbo Blue fuel right down the street from where I live, it's 110 octane.

Im pretty sure others will chime in with different suppliers and octanes.

it was a fuel used 10 years ago for go kart engines and quite illegally used into rally and drag racing. No longer exist at today.

Most of the tunner use 116 octane. I think its the better and easy fuel octane for turbo tune...
