Reminds me of a CSI Miami episode were this dude would siphon high octane guys out of boats and sell it to a douche bag with a jet ski. Well the dude's stomach has so much vapors, he ended up blowing himself inside out.

So be careful out there kids.

What I wanna know is who gets mid-grade?

I've never owned a vehicle, it either can run 87 efficiently, or needs 91+ for performance. None of this "well I kinda need both nonsense".

Mid grade is there so when the low grade runs out.

But Dawg. Higher the octane give my ridz moe boost dawg. I mix my NOXXXXXXXXXXX bottle wit my 101 oct and turn on my dual turbo setup and I'm furiously out of there.

I've seen 97 before... but was only in CA... and wasn't often enough that you could run it every tank unless you never left the local area.

102 I think is race gas... seen that more than 97... and all over... but again... too wide spread to rely on filling up with it every tank

Ok, so I haven't been living in a fog for the past 15+years of riding (at least not about this

) Good to know

Weird, because I live in CA, and the highest I've ever seen here is 91.

93 octane. In MI you have a choice of 87,89, or 93.
