The gas station in Saratoga is now pumping 100 octane. It's $7 a gallon, but it's nice to have another source.

 

I'm in San Jose, CA. Can u be more specific as to location?
Thanks

 

Downtown Saratoga. It's at the corner of Saratoga Avenue, Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, Saratoga-Los Gatos Road and Big Basin Way. Otherwise known as the intersection of highways 9 and the old 85. Otherwise known as the Village of Saratoga's one stop light and one gas station.

 

Thanks, I think I'll go load up half a tank this weekend for the SF Bay Area meet at the Beach Chalet.

 

There's a meet....oh damn I missed it?

 

Do you guys have a tune to take advantage of the 100 octane?

 

The Union station on Woodwide Rd in Redwood City between El Camino Real and I#280 is another one.

 

Yes, it's all well and good to find the fuel, but it makes no difference whatsoever to your Mercedes unless you've modified it.

 

I was gonna ask the same thing. - tuning is required to take full advantage

 

Well yes, that's my point. And more specifically, The ability to advance timming. If you have a tune that takes advantage of a higher octane fuel, you need to be able to "turn off" that tune when you are not using that higher octane fuel.
Like a switch chip with more then one tune.
If you have stock timming, you are just wasting money on fuel that is higher then 91 octane.
