Default What do you run in your turbo car (gas/octane)

What do you guys run for octane. Also, list what car and engine.

A certain gas station you prefer?

Just wanted to see what everybody is running.

I was thinking run 93 octane in my GSR-T. Not sure though, want to hear some opinions.

Looks like 93 octane for me. Thats what i dumped into it when it was all motor aswell. So, it'll be treated again

Even though the price of 93 octane is now up to 2.13 a gallon ..pisses me off.

I always run 93 and at the track i'm usually put about 1 gallon of race on top about 4 gallons in the tank just for a little safety.

yeah i run 91, its really the only thing you can get in colorado. Every once in awhile there will be a pump but its very rare. Oh and race gas is too expensive.

D15B, 9.9:1, 9 psi. Anything less than 91 and it's detonating. That's with proper fuel management.

93 octane, unless we're going racing, then it's a different fuel map and 116....
