In Hillsboro/Beaverton...Where's the best gas?

92 Octane and 10% Ethanol isn't that great...

Where can I find the good gas?

Anyone have any good recommendations for picking a higher octane or a place for some race gas?

Or where I might locate some denatured alcohol to use temporarily for DEQ?

Thanks,

You are not going to want to drive around on race fuel.... There might be some sort of additive (I'm not really a firm believer in additives though) for the winter fuel we get in this area.

The emissions boundry is Banks I think... You might be able to drive out there and fill up a drum or something.

I just sucked it up this winter and switched to "B Map" on my EMS. :-D

Thanks for the info!

Anything is better than nothing right! I might try an additive and see if it improves the AF readings at all. And Will checkout what's available past Banks.

Thanks,

i have heard of ppl using a paint thinner as an additave and it bumped the gas up to 115 octane or something. i probably wouldnt recomend it but i have heard it works wonders.

you can get denatured alcohol at a home depot or a paint store.
