Why the 100 octane for a road trip?

This weekend was definately a good one (at times) for a nice windows down cruise!

Don't be shy to tell us what you did with the M3!

Happy late Bday by the way!

I thought I fell out of love with the C too when I got the vette, but few weeks later I realised it wasn't so.

I don't think higher octane would provide any more power unless his ecu is tooled for 100 octane gas. Higher octane gas just has a higher combustion point compared to lower octane.

hmm idk....Mike (hooleyboy) says that on the dyno, he used to see gains with 100 octane gas without a 100 octane tune. And that is both pre and post s/c

From what I understand, a stock vehicle with a higher grade of octane will not perform better, but might run a little cleaner. Using a lower grade of gas with a higher compression motor will cause it to ping because the gas is combusting before its full compression, but not so much the inverse.

the gas in CA sucks we only have 91 before the trip i ajusted the ME-SIF 2.8 for some real gas. you feel a little more power.

i was drive on the 14 and i saw a bmw closeing in on me he got so on my *** that i can see the color of his eyes. i gave him a little brake check (thay pissed him off)
he pulled up beside me and gave me the finger i was doing about 80MPH (did i say that my wife was in the car) my wife told me to get away from him so i went from 7th gear to 4th and hit the gas next thing i know i am doing about xxx MPH and he is trying to keep up, now my wife is all pissed off at me for going to fast and told me to slow down i went from xxxMPH to 70MPH in about 1/2 sec (i love the big brakes) he pulled up to me again and he was like and then i i pulled off the freeway to go to eat at In-N-Out Burger.
