I've never tried it...regular gas is expensive enough, so might as well see what the good stuff does for me this weekend. Who's got it and how much is it these days?

Thanks!

Too much octane isn't a good thing either. It won't hurt your car but doesn't help it either. With its slower burn you'll end up with a rich condition, and I would assume the computer compensating for it. Now if you're on the edge of detonation then its helpful. BUt yeah the Sunoco at Beach and Foster sells it out of the pump. Or you can go to Well's Performance on N University and get it just ask for unleaded and bring a gas can.

You people really don't know **** about cars! But you have plenty of money to throw at cars thinking you know a lot. The Florida site is more comical than the sunday funnies!!!

oil contamination. This was on a 100 octane file. Around town there isn't a way to run enough base timing to burn off all that fuel so you wind up with a surplus of unburned fuel in the combustion chamber. Also known as running rich.

Exactly what Shane said. Doesn't matter if its my Neon, my V-8 car, or an Audi, octane affects them the same. The more octane you have the slower the burn rate of the fuel which is what gives you the cooler combustion chamber temperatures, which helps in controlling detonation. If you have a turbo car with lots of boost/cylinder pressure you'll need more octane obviously, but when not in boost it could cause a sluggish feeling if the fuel isn't being completely burned off.

Yeah...there are NO fast neons out there. Those guys know nothing about tuning.

Local guy had just an MBC and exhaust. He could hang within a car length or so of Scott's stg3 GTI.
