Finding this rare delicacy used to require going to racetracks or removing your catalytic converters, but it is possible to find it at a select few Unocal 76 stations. I know the one in Redwood City has it at two of its pumps, I’m sure it’s a more widespread phenomenon than that though the internets have failed to generate a list of them. It’s a little bit pricey at $4.50 per gallon, but this is for science, and regular gas will cost that much soon anyway.<br>My car’s knock sensor is supposed to adjust its timing for anything between 87 and 100 octane gasoline, (insert inductive step), so your car should handle 100 octane gasoline just fine. As an added bonus, it makes your car smell just like a real racecar!<br>Shawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373365004388163061.post-1136642410176916952004-12-05T20:12:45.000-08:002004-12-05T20:12:45.000-08:00Actually, I knew about them too! :-PThey were ment...Actually, I knew about them too! :-P<br>They were mentioned in the auto mechanics class I took some 5 years ago.
