Question on gas in Honolulu ...

808E90 · 01-20-2010, 02:44 AM

I"ve been using Shell in the ///M since the day I got it ... I noticed all we get here in Oahu is 92oct. Is there a place in town where we can get 93oct?

Anyone know?

76 sells race fuel. it's at least 100 octane. think it's like $12/gallon. it's expensive but adds like 30 rwhp. cheap bolt on right? hey when we going to dyno our cars?

I've only known of one 76 that has the 100 oct at the pump and the pump has since been shutdown due to lack of sales. I tried it once in my S4 and it was like liquid crack

The 76 is on King St near McCully Library. My office is right behind the McDonalds next to the Library.

Never seen anywhere around town with 93 oct.

Just tell the ESS guys to tune your SC software for 92 oct

Your not going to get 92 anywhere on the island. You can achieve 93 octane via mixing correct ratios of 92 and 100 unleaded. No big deal.

Yeah I kinda figured that out ... 92oct will just have to work. Mixing is a big deal if you always have to do it.

try sugar in your tank. i think that's about the equivalent of 100 octane.

spyderco10 · 01-23-2010, 12:47 AM

wait, you know i'm joking right?
