Default 100 octane questions...

After getting the APR 100 octane program, I finally got 100 octane unleaded gas and I want to use it.
Do I need to flush the empty gas tank which use to hold 93 octane with 100 octane first or can I just add 100 octane gas into the tank once the tank is empty?
I paid $5 per gallon, are there any place from where I can get this gas for cheaper near Boston?
Thanks, your help is deeply appreciated.

Default Until Matt revisits the 100 octane code it's not worth the money if your running V5.0

I usually drive about 15 miles after I hit 0. My fuel pump doesn't love me, but hey :-). I usually drive 5 or 10 miles to get any 93 out of the lines and for the gas to mix before I switch to the 100 octane program.

Default Hmm.....have you ever tried running higher than 100 octane?

That might be the difference. What brand fuel do you run also...there is a difference between fuel brands as well. I've run 100, 101, 104 and 105 in my car. I do not like 100.....not sure how much pump gas was in my car when I ran it, ...but it ran funny. I like running a mix of pump and 104 or 105 to make sure I'm at 100.

I only run Sunoco 104. It's actually cheaper than Sunoco 100.

Default Yes you can. I wouldn't run more than 105 though.....no real purpose unless

you're spraying nitrous on top of the race program. ;-p

Default I run Phillips B-42 usually......that gas is good....I think the designation changed to something

else, but that gas runs the best of all the stuff I've run.
