arg!! so i found a gas station off 680 that has race gas! Found it by mistake too, my cousin needed to use the "comfort romm" so we pulled over. The place is right after the golfcourse, perhapse 10-15 minutes before the berryessa exit...

hmmm...would it be best to just wait til i am on empty, then add it, or just mix it with the 91?
ok, that was a dumb question. btw, 100 octane wont have any adverse effects on the car, will it? (other than the urge to drive faster)
i think i am going to try on friday, ill just get a bucket or something,, fill it up with race gas, and wait til i get on E with the gas i got now, then pull over on the road, and fill her up!
btw...is the difference between 91 and 100 octane notiicable?

yes you can mix the 91 with 100 octane...
it just brings the octane level down a bit, if you had 5 gallons of 91 and you added 5 gallons of the 100 octane, your octane lvl should be around 95.5 or so..
as far as engine management... higher octane means you can run a higher boost witout having to worry that the gas would explode before full compression(detonation)
so just with just a MBC you can take advantage of the 100 octane...just remember to turn it back down once you go back to regular 91 octane...
