On Tuesdays I can get 93 for $1.58 or so. Any other time it is aroun $1.78-$1.80

 

whats up big jon its your best rx-7 friend yanni Id say turn your boost down a couple psi for now or take out a lot of timing and find a station with 93

I was talking with an engine builder and he said he was running 16psi on 93 and turned it to 17 and then pop. This is a pro so id imagine you dont want to be higher than 12 on the 91 at HIGHEST. Maybe even go to 10 for now which will feel like **** im sure. But hey I ran 7psi on my last car with the non seq twins and the silencers in for a few months. Now THAT feels like ****. If I can do it so can you. Glad we got to chill before you left good luck with your life there bro.

 

FitzRX7: Talk about a flashback. I worked at the Enid News and Eagle back in 1981-85 as a news photographer. It was a rocking town during the oil boom. I assume you must be doing pilot training at Vance? I can't believe the USAF is still flying the Tweet. They were old when I was there. LOL. Fun airplane, though.

Relative to fuel, yes, Enid is out of the way. Look for either Phillips (refined in Bartlesville) or Amoco. Both good quality gas. Conoco is refined in Ponca City. The distribution companies pretty much dictate what's available. If the dealers don't sell enough 93, they won't ship it. There are so few high performance cars around anymore, an island like Enid isn't likely to get any. By the way, auto racing is a big deal in Oklahoma. As I recall there was a station there in a relatively seedy side of town that catered to Saturday evening racers. They sold something that was 94+, as I recall. It was an independent dealer. Look around.

Study hard - the washout rate is phenomenal. And if you get into a T-38 someday, watch the power bleed off on landing. That thing has no wings and drops like a rock the second you get below the curve. I made a photograph of one sitting in a guy's livingroom - what was left of it. Let us know how you are doing.

 

It's over $2.60 here in Redlands/Highland area. It friekin sucks ***, kinda glad I'm not driving my FD too. Seems like they're adding more bs to the gas here too, it doesn't last as long and runs like ****! I hate california car wise, any other state would be way better to have a car in but its fun to live in california! It's a real shitty trade off.

 

"Of course I could tune back my car. I could reduce the timing advance and it would be happy on the 91."

That's right. You tuned your car for the gas you had available. We tune our cars for 91. Do you get that? 91 is fine.

If you're going to be in a 91 area, tune your ******* car.

I'm far from an ignorant board member on here. It's not the gas. I understand the concept of octane and it's relevance to resistance to burn. However, unless you're pushing serious boost on the street, 91 octane is going to be fine. We use it out here in California every day, 365 days of the year.

 

You guy's have it easy down there. Here in Edmonton, Canada the price for premium gas at 91 octane is $0.83 per litre. I wish our gas was as cheap as yours. The ironic part is that we make the gas ship it to you guy's and then you ship it back to us for a profit. Thats crazy.

Take a ride over to Gotham Racing and have Steve tune it for the lower octane

 

tuning isnt that hard and steve kan isnt a freakin genious for being able to handle a pfc. Jon knows how to tune his car fine he doesnt need to drive no where although hes put just a few miles on his car so he musta had to drive somewhere or wanted to
