Default Octane?

What octane do most here use? Any noticeable performance difference due to higher octane?

Default Big diff with chipped car in California....

California has 91 octane. When I mix in 1/2 tank of 100 in my chipped car there is a HUGE difference in performance. 100 is only available in a few select locations (about 4.50 per gallon). It is expensive so I only do it once in a while.

Default Where do you find 100 octane around CA, im in the Los Angeles/santa monica area...

also, is there any place to get 93 octane that you know of. Is there an additive i could put in with a tank of gas that will boost it to 93-95 octane ?

Forget additives... 100 unleaded is the next step up, wish we had 93

Default I got some at 76 on Pico and Barrington in Santa Monica... $4.99 a gallon and ...

you won't find 93 octane, just 100. I'd recommend adding in a half tank of 100 octane to a 1/4 of 91, and see if you like the difference. It's a rather inexpensive experiment.
