What is the highest octane of petrol that can be found in the tampa area. I see 93 all the time at various stations have any of you seen a higher octane rating at a reputable gas station?

 

I think 93's the highest you can get at a regular gas station in florida... I know the drag strip i go to has like 110 but I think its unleaded

 

maybe someone can confirm what my friend from Orlando said about the racetrack gas stations over there offering 98 octane

 

There is a place in Clearwater just north of 60. I think it is on Main street. But you don't need higher than recommended octane unless you do something like increase the compression or timing which may lead to easier detonation. Higher-than-recommended octane can actually hurt performance because it retards flame travel and can reduct power output.

 

Thanks Mr. Wizard!

 

I found 136 octane at this imaginary gas station in my dream?

 

most sunocos have 100 octane at their stations, there is one a few blocks from my house.


hell and for 6 dollars a gallon, why not??


just look at your local sunoco and see...
