You won’t see a power or fuel efficiency increase by running 93 octane fuel in an engine that designed for Regular gas, unless you've got your car running an ECM tune for 93. Knock reduces engine output and efficiency, and can damage an engine.
Gas that ignites too early causes ‘knock’. The timing of this explosion is critical. This causes the explosion that drives the piston down to generate horsepower. It should remain in vapor form until it is time for the spark plug to light it up. Gasoline is sprayed into a cylinder by a fuel injector and mixed with oxygen. Sports cars tend to require much higher octane gasoline to avoid knock. More aggressive engine management schemes can turn up the compression to a high level. The higher the number, the less likely it is to ignite under pressure. It relates to just how much a fuel can be compressed before igniting. The octane rating for gasoline has nothing to do with the amount of power locked inside of it. Once again, you and your friends can help us find and map them all. It's pretty easy to eliminate certain gas stations that don't sell 93 octane, but it's a whole different animal to find the ones that do as it is often up to the owner of the station. Super America (MOST serve 92 octane, I have only found 1, in Chanhassen, MN that serves 93).Kwik Trip (Recently they've been popping up in Wisconsin with 93 octane).The following stations do NOT serve 93 octane gasoline: In Maine it is 91 octane."Ī representative for Rutter's, with gas stations in Pennsylvania, has reached out and said "All of our locations serve 93 octane fuel."Ī representative for QuikTrip in Georgia has reached out and said "They all offer 93 octane."
The following refueling stations are independently owned franshises, and it's up to the owner if they will sell 93 octane:Ī representative for Cumberland Farms, with gas stations in Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, has reached out and said "All of our sites sell premium grade 93 octane except for the state of Maine. We have reached out to many gas stations, and have heard back from them.
