How does your car perform with the mix. My Comp with BM3 stage 1 93 gets really spin happy, even on the freeway at 70 mph with Cup2 tires. Most of the time I run 91 ACN which has enough torque to not have to drop to 5th to pass on the freeway.

I'm stock so I dont get the full benefit but I can feel the engine happier and more responsive.

Once I tune my car i'm sure a mix of 100 octane will be more beneficial.

Going to do CS+ tune.

I've tried them all and landed on 91 ACN. I have tailored it to my taste. Exhaust valves full open in Sport/Sport+, lowered burbles in Sport+, burbles off for the rest, sport is my everyday mode. Comfort for long cruises = quiet. Mine is a 6MT, the tune fixes the rev hang which was still present in the CS tune YMMV. Anyway stage 1 93 with 4 gallons of 100 = crazy torque!

I live near this Sunoco station and they are still pumping 100. I fill my motorcycles there. The cars get an occasional few gallons on a random Saturday C&C but early morning before it gets congested.

Heads up, I just googled them, apparently they are only open from 9-5 and closed on weekends. Strange hours for a gas station.
