there was some previous posts to the affect that we don't need 93 here. has to do with the altitude or something.

In the Nichols hills area off of N. Western Ave. is a shell station that sells 93 octane gas. They also sell 101 octane racing fuel. If you are heading north, it will be on the left. Both fuels are very expensive...

Well, altitude does have something to do with it. Oklahoma is not as high as the "Rocky Mountains," but, maybe this explains why it seems we can only find 91 in Oklahoma.
Regional variations The selection of octane ratings available at the pump can vary greatly from region to region. In the Rocky Mountain (high altitude) states, 85 AKI is the minimum octane, and 91 AKI is the maximum octane available in fuel. The reason for this is that in higher-altitude areas, a typical combustion engine draws in less air per cycle due to the reduced density of the atmosphere. This directly translates to reduced absolute compression in the cylinder, therefore deterring knock. It is safe to fill up a car with a carburetor that normally takes 87 AKI fuel at sea level with 85 AKI fuel in the mountains, but at sea level the fuel may cause damage to the engine. A disadvantage to this strategy is that most turbocharged vehicles are unable to produce full power, even when using the "premium" 91 AKI fuel. In some east coast states, up to 94 AKI is available [1]. In parts of the Midwest (primarily Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri) ethanol based E-85 fuel with 105 AKI is available [2]. Often, filling stations near US racing tracks will offer higher octane levels such as 100 AKI. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating Edit: I found that you can deduct 2 Octane per 5,000 ft. above sea level. So, it's okay in Colorado at 5,000+ ft. to run 91. However, OKC is about 1,200 feet. So, I'm thinking we still need 93.?.? Last edited by okie2; 09-11-2009 at 09:07 PM. |

Congrats! My wife's is supposed to be built next week... mine the week after! I can't wait to post the arrival of ours! We finished the wait from 1100 to 2000. Now we wait for them to be built. Then we'll wait for them to be delivered.
I assure you this has not really helped my patience at all! Congrats again. |

We meet at the St. Jude's on Saturday. I have loaded my pictures on the Glover site on Camaro 5. If you are still having problems try loading them one at a time. And if that doesn't work go to Photobucket.com and reduce the size. Hope this works for you. Lester |

Thanks Lester. Enjoyed visiting and talking about the cars. Hope you have luck saying buy to your sweet vette. I've tried loading one at a time and no luck. Thanks for the suggestion to use Photobucket.com. I'll see if works. If it does I'll load the pics I took.

Hey guys I'm pretty new to this posting stuff, even though I have been coming to this site for a while just to see what has been going on with anything that has to do with a Camaro. The reason I joined was because I just found out that my car has a VIN now!!! I live in the Tulsa area and am hoping to get my Camaro by sometime next week maybe even the week after.
