Is it possible to get higher than 92 octane gas in Norther California? Don't think so...

Phryxis

you can get octane additives from your local auto store... ie. pep boys, yadda yadda yadda... some boast 7 more octane... haven't tried it myself.

"According to Mark Borosky, Vehicle Test Engineer for Sunoco,"Of the nine octane boosters tested, none showed a significant increase, and one actually lowered the octane number of the test gasolines."Testing repeatedly showed a maximum increase in octane of 3.5 points by only two of the six street legal octane boosters when the recommended treatment rate was blended with lower base 87 octane gasoline. The best the remaining four products could muster was less than a one point increase. "While clearly no one would actually use an octane booster in a low base octane fuel, we wanted to give the manufacturers the benefit of the doubt relative to their claims of five-to-seven point increases," explained Borosky."<ul><li><a href="http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Miscellaneous/FuelAdditives.htm">http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Miscellaneous/FuelAdditives.htm</a</li></ul>

figure 8 gallons of that and 8 gallons of super should do it=96 octane

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/octane.gif"></center><p>I did this a while back because I was doing some experiments with fuel...mixing 92 Octane with 100 Octane to produce anything I wanted between 92 and 100. The graph shows on the X axis the paramter alpha (denoted with greek alpha char) this is simply the ratio of 92 Octane fuel to 100 Octane...so 8 gallons of 92 and 8 gallons of 100 would yield an alpha of 8/8 or 1.0. If you look on the X axis you will see where the value (alpha) intersects an Y value called D(alpha)...there you can read the Octane value...which as you calculated yourself is 96 Octane.

As you can see from the shape of the function that it really takes a ****load of 100 to sway the whole tank one way or another. I think the Alpha of 1 is your best bet money wise.

Anyhow if anyone has trouble using this graph just tell me and I'll explain some more. I know some people's algebra is pretty cloudy.

Sorry bout the quality...this is from a printout I did a long time ago..the Mathcad file that created it is long gone.
