I have no idea but can you buy it at your local pump? I've been looking for a place that sells it locally but no luck :thumbdown:

You could always try your local airport . Avaition fuel runs in this range of octane.

100 octane is about $3 a gallon at Gas City in the southern subs these days.

My company has a helicopter which runs on 100 octane, but the aviation fuel is labeled as "low lead". I don't think that's the same as unleaded, I wouldn't put it in my car.

The price is usually about 2 bucks higher than 93 at the station, but I haven't checked since gas prices went down.

Averaged a little above 21 mpg for the first 16k miles.

i've averaged as high as 22 by driving like a grandma (which is EXTREMELY HARD), and averaged as low as 12...

But many people tell me "if you own a car like that, you shouldn't be worrying about gas". Well, when you fill up 7-10 times a month, and it costs 60 bucks each time (when gas was 4.00+), yeah it matters....

Isn't it karosene? You can't run that in your car

In the Navy it's called JP-5

Yeah, that's what people say, but an enthusiast still wants to know.

I just filled my Porsche Boxster S with Chevron premium today for $1.99/gallon, that's cheap here. Averaged about 18mpg on that tank, around town and on mountain roads locally.
