And that's yet another one of the major reasons of why the PROcede product kicks major ass.

And as for the gas quality topic, yeah, it really sucks how CA out of all states offers just 91, and as the OP said, crappy 91 at that. Corn-filled crap. Politics suck. GO GO efforts to appease the farmers. /sigh

On the east coast a lot of states adopted the 10% crapathol, sorry i mean, ethanol, law/policy, as of Q3 2006 I believe. Meh, still, superior to CA's composition.

Btw folks, please note that when a state for example mandates 10% ethanol, it DOES NOT mean that every gallon sold must be at least 10% ethanol. Rather, it just means the annual quota of gas supplied/sold must cumulatively account for 10% of it being ethanol. What this mean in layman's terms: CERTAIN areas of your state may have higher concentrations of ethanol in the fuel sold than others, and of course other areas may have minimal if none at all. I am sure the town politicians have a say in how that all plays out.

Heh, in the persian gulf, they got 105+ octane...at regular gas stations Well, not all stations, but quite a few and growing. Regular is 90 octane, and "premium" is 98, with not much of a price hike (but the 104/105 octane stuff is considerably more expensive, albeit a fraction of what 87 octane gas costs over here in the US <=== yeah don't complain guys, you know what a gallon costs in a place like Norway? Try $7).

Shiv,
Do you know if there are improvements to be had beyond 93 octane? Should we expect increasing gains from 93 to 100 octane?
