94 Octane in NY??? Anyone know where?
I'm in Staten Island and I have been unable to locate 94 octane anywhere in my area. I have called all the Sunoco stations and they have stopped selling it.
Anyone???

No longer available in all states. I think CT, NY, and MD have banned it.
Somehing about MTBE I believe. PA doesn't care about that stuff...heck, we are the landfill capital of the US, what's a few more MTBE's.

Toluene, a major ingredient in gas, also used as paint thinner, but be careful (m)
According to a VP Fuels tech guy, it changes the burn ratio, which can cause damage if too much is used (think he said it burns a hole in the piston - wrote it down and my notes are in the car right now).
He also told me that it is 118 octane, not 114.
So I was mixing it a little strong on the last dyno run (Matt - I was probably at 104, not 102!).
