Gas Type in So Cal

what's the most boost californian's have used on our 91octane gas?

anyone try getting 91octane pump gas, and adding octane booster?

or know of a place that has decent racing gas?

no, use race gas mixed or water injection.

All the race fuel you need is at the location with decent prices.

I have ran 21PSI on a 60-1 on 91 octane. I also recall Rene Franco runs 23 psi on pump gas on his 20B with a huge turbo, forgot what size compressor he runs.

The title is misleading...

I thought it has something to do with gas due to too much beans.

There is some ethanol but I don't recall what % it is. Different states have different blends and that is why prices and octane is not consistant. Price would be cheaper if it was all the same. My race fuel has Ethanol in it to. Would have to look at the barrel to see the %age.

in VA we have a big sign on all the pumps....10% ethanol added. I'm thinking about bringing my FD to sevenstock to have steve kan tune it, so I wanna make sure the gas is consistent.

I keep forgetting to check the pump (small sticker) but I beleive we are 10% as well, allthough the other ingredients are different.
