Purchased 100 octane in California (Pasadena Union76) and in Arizona at a Mobil station, with out a doubt noticed immediate results. More power and appeared the response improved. I put a full tank just prior to my scheduled California Emissions Test, burnt off half of that and passed the test with flying colors(probably would have passed regardless). One station in Torrance stated he had never seen a Corvette with readings this good.
Now I really do not purchase it as much, although once every three month I will put 10 gallons in the car.
My .02 worth
Before there was a Union 76 they were Pure Gas Stations

So, if you do use a higher octane fuel and honestly feel a difference it's because you've been using the wrong fuel for your engine's compression ratio. You're not adding horsepower or getting a better throttle response, you're merely letting the engine run how it was designed to by using the correct octane levels.

Time for a NC area forum member to get a free dyno and prove or disprove this one! Who is going to do it?

Don't know if the rebate is specific to purchasing only at O'Reilly auto parts or not.

octane
increased octane ratings don't take energy out of the fuel, it raises the temp at which self ignition takes place due to higher compression, and hot spots in the combustion chamber.

Hey Ron--the 76 station is located on Ventura Boulevard just a block west of White Oak on the north side of the street. I was just there but forgot to see if they still had the 100 octane. It is not in one of the standard pumps so you have to ask the guy to put it in for you.
