Default 93 octane in Seattle?

Hello,

I will be getting the APR chip with a stock program and the 93 octane program. The gas stations near me all seem to have 92 octane. Will this work with the 93 octane program? Where do I get the good stuff 93 octane here in Seattle?

No, you need 93 to run the 93 oct program. 91 on the 91 program is probably better than 92 on 93p

Default I've never seen any, although there might be a 76 with 100, so you *could* mix your own....

If you really wanted to hassle with it... Otherwise just go for the 91 program.

Default I get pump 94 unleaded at the CENEX gas station in Auburn.

Their 3 grades are: regular @ 89, mid @ 91.5, and premium @ 94. Last time I bought premium there (about 6 weeks ago) it was $1.59.9/gal when the "cheapest" local (Bellevue) Chevron was $1.63.9 and most of the others were at $1.68.9/$1.71.9.

Many of the local Audi club go there, or mix in either 100 race gas or toluene to get the 94 (95 in Europe) the ECU is really programmed for. Not the most convenient location, and they are open Mon thru Sat 7am to 6pm.

e-mail me for driving directions if interested.

Cheers,
