Default Octane calculator question...

Plain and simple...Whats the highest octane rating you can get delivered to your home ? The highest octane pump here is 93.....is it 110 ? If it is, how much 110 do you have to add to 93 to get to 100 for one gallon ?

I use to use this on my Evo back in the day. 1 quart to 5 gallons of 91 made around 105 octane, I used 3 quarts to a full tank of gas. . My tuner laughed at me the first time till he hit the gas, he was a believer. They also sell straight race fuel.

As far as mixing race fuel with 93, there are tons of calculators online.

You started a thread yesterday saying your car is currently tuned to run 93, why do you think you need to go to 100?
if you’re just looking for a little safety margin then bumping up the 93 a point or two should be sufficient. Torco will get you there easy enough and a heck of a lot easier and cheaper then blending 100 fuel.

Octane works on a direct ratio.... 5 gallons of 93 mixed with 5 gallons of 110 gives you 10 gallons of 101.5.

(93+110)/2 = 101.5

7 gallons of 93 mixed with 5 gallons of 110 will give you 12 gallons of 100.1

((93×7) + (110x5))/12 = 100.1

You might want to check my math... LOL...
