100-110 octane!!!

MMMAZi · 10-19-2006, 03:35 AM

Would "very" high octane gas cause any harm on the transmission or any other part of the car?

mikem · 10-19-2006, 03:47 AM

Nope, we have BP ultimate "102" in the UK but its rediculously expensive.

Why waste your money when that high of octane is not needed? Save your money for other mods

110 cctane is like $12/gallon. Just imagine paying $180 to fill your car with that stuff. Unless I gained like 50HP from it (haha) I wouldn't do it.

It is waste of money, your car is tuned for a specific octane. Even in our race cars that have high compression, huge cam and lifters we mix 25% 101 and 75% 91 octane.

Thanks

Sure i am neither that rich nor that crazy to waste my money on it. But i just want it to try it out at least one time. "I don't think my car will get addicted to it"

According to BP on 102 octane some cars were producing as much as 60hp more. (these cars were prob. mapped to run on it `tho)
Guys $12 a gallon isn`t a lot, it`s not far off the average price here in UK for reg.

My Porsche twin turbo is programed to run on a 50% mix of 102 and 91. Don't waste your money putting 102 in a stock 335. BTW in Socal we pay around $5 a gallon for 102 octane.

Dont mix up Euro Octane with USA Octane ratings

US 100 is something like Euro 110

Europe shows RON

USA shows [RON+MON]/2

US Gallon is smaller than Imperial Gallon.

Get a 100 or 102 octane program on a modified ECU and you will be making a lot more than +50.
