if the 91 is bad quality yes...the engine can advance timing to a preset aggressive map...or you can be assured your engine run the aggressive map!

Some Shell stations up here have 94.

chevron in Canada offer's 87 octane (reg) and 91 (premium) and then ultra 94

mr_desmo · 02-25-2010, 01:51 PM

Sunoco used to have 89 91 93 and 94. Not to may Sunoco's around anymore tho.

The answer would be NO. You won't gaiin anything over 93.

... unless new knock retard tables come out for 94 octane (by means of the tuner guys).

... maybe it would make a difference if you fill up with 94 octane and do a custom tune, but then it seems like you would have to always run 94 octane

One thing is for sure: race gas is >110 octane, and it certainly makes a difference... or people wouldn't pay $10-15/gallon for it

ALL sunoco's here used to have 94...until gas hit $3+ a gallon, now NONE of them carry it.

BlackM6RS/SS · 02-25-2010, 04:51 PM

You only need MORE than 93-94 pump if your running HIGH BOOST that needs race gas for the tune via Turbo/Blower or if your running High Compression 11 to 11.5+

Im sure 93-94 pump is all good, pump is pump gas, go for 94

Show me ANYONE that is running 110 in a stock or near stock 2010 Camaro. That means no compression upgrades or boost.
