lovin Cali's 91, darn green people...and it's still expensive compared to other states 93,94, it's all the other additives, we will soon switch to our summer blend of gas so prices will increase a few cents more.

Another thing to keep in mind about aviation fuel in an automotive engine is that it's very vapor resistant. That is because aircraft fly through not only temperature changes but also dramatically lower barametric pressure as altitude increases. Avgas does make it harder to tune the car for street driving on a cold morning.

Haven't read to the end of this thread to see if anyone else has picked up on this seemingly little known fact.

The gas's octane is the same no matter what the altitude. Engines don't need as high an octane gas at the higher altitudes, so the gas stations purchase lower octane gas. The pipelines move gasoline of many different octane ratings.

Just wait until we are subjected to Obama Administration mandated 15% ethanol added gas.
Also there was a mention to 93 octane gas becoming a thing of the past - anyone heard of this?
How is CHANGE doing you now?

I've heard a rumor there's 93 octane at a station at Speedway Blvd. and Alvernon here in Tucson but for all practical purposes it's 91 octane only in Arizona. Thanks to the government Overlord's at the EPA our fuel is oxygenated or cut with 10% ethanol during the winter months. There are, however, a very few stations that sell 100+ octane racing fuel. The Love's off I-10 and Wild Horse Pass Road (near Firebird Raceway) comes to mind. My engine is setup to run on 91 octane so I wouldn't buy 93 even if it was widely available.
Sadly, as a byproduct of their onerous regulations the EPA has targeted our entire economy for death.
I was around when they eliminated leaded gas, but if I remember correctly, it wasn't long after I started driving. (8.5 years) I had an aunt that had a Camaro with a souped up engine which required leaded fuel. She had to buy the additive to run her car.
In the aviation industry, they are working hard on finding something else to run the airplanes that require 100LL. The EPA has targeted 100LL for death, so everyone is scrambling.

anybody find anything above 91 left in South Dakota... Rapid City in particular?
i just moved out here & am tuned for 93 on 11psi with a stock LS1. (by the way - there's only one 93 station in Abilene, TX: the Valero by the mall on Buffalo Gap Rd) no problems in TX but i don't want to chance the altitude thing up here

An easy way to find gas prices in your travels, those of you with smartphones, you can get the "YP" app. (Yellow pages) It's free. It will show you any gas stations in the area along with the grades of gas and current prices. Good for restaurants in your area too.
