92 VS 93 octane
Do you guys think 92 octane without ethanol is superior to 93 octane with ethanol? I understand what octane means, its more of an ethanol issue, assuming upgraded injectors.

Re: 92 VS 93 octane
I'd give up that one point for ethanol free

Re: 92 VS 93 octane
Dittos on Steve. AND where you live, the DA at that altitude - even in the flat land, east of the front range - 92 octane would behave something like 100+ down here at 600 feet amsl. And, if alcohol free, that is a nice bonus!!

Re: 92 VS 93 octane
Two years ago I met a guy with a 2008 Corvette; he was bragging about filling his gas tank with leaded Cam-2. He said it ran great, but with the engine check light on all the time.

Re: 92 VS 93 octane
Does it help any to add some 104 or 108+ booster? Snake oil?

Re: 92 VS 93 octane
Got news for you. You can still buy Sunoco 260 and more. In 5 gallon cans. It will cost you though...
