Default I woudn't be too horny to run the G2 on 91 gas.
PES recommends that you run 100 octane at the track, due to heat issues. Considering it ain't exactly cool in Cali, I'd be a little wary.

Default Some guy here with a 2000 model did have some problems with his PES.
But I think it was because of the DBW system on the 2000 and later models.

Default Hi, we are currently working on CARB Certificates for CA.
The PES Supercharger is not CARB Certified for the state of California, although we retain all smog legal components and will pass strict California emissions testing.

Default All issues on the cars here in CA are just because of the ****ty fuel we have.
Not only is it lower in octane it burns line toilet water.
