Filled up half 91 and the other half 100. Just starting to work it's way into the system and there is a little extra kick in the seat.

If you want to try it it's at the 76 gas station on Barrington

Just passed that the other day, there's a pretty good detailing shop on the south side of Pico just west (across from Don Antonio's). Got some nasty waterspots down in OC last weekend.

My wallet likes the flavor of e85 a little better tho

Why would you use 100 octane when you can get e85 which is effectively 105 octane at a third the price. Just a suggestion.

Because I don't have a JB4 only a JB+ and I read that without the timing corrections e85 will yield little to no gains. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. I'm was dying to get 93+ octane to max my mod.

This won't be a crack habit either. Couple of tanks of this and I might as well get the JB4 G5.

PS. Taking PCH home tonight if ya wanna come test selector! Haha

Nothing a clay bar couldn't remove. When I get my JB4 you gotta help me with that install.

Got the JB+ up to 100%, cleaned vanos solenoid, added 100 octane. According to dash command 0 - 60 4.9 seconds. Previous runs with the same app pre-JB+ 5.7

Can't wait for the JB4 and 91/e85 mix

Don't waste your time and money on that garbage. Its barely 96 octane, at best. Get some E85, E98 or some MS109 in the can.

Even $4.39 for premium is overpriced. I agree on e85 - it's only $3.09 per gallon at the 76 station in Monrovia.

They sell it in pails, but you can get E85 at the pump. A quick search will yield you results
