I know this seems great but as Abercrombie said, gas should be WAY cheaper than it is. 63 dollars a barrel we should be paying closer to .75 a litre.

Because his tune was programmed to be used with 94?...
Nothing wrong with Ethanol, in fact I wish we had E85 readily available so I could make 400+whp safely on pump fuel.
Sunoco 94 is noticeably better than any 91 for a high compression or forced induction engine. 91 is usually a bit better for fuel consumption.

Spot on. Ya it's because I'm tuned for 94 octane so going down to 91 octane could cause my engine to detonate and that's not a good thing!!

400whp on pump is definately outstanding, I'm still trickling away at ~250whp/wtq ... still love my stock turbo though won't change it for a while.

I also notice 91octane gets my better fuel economy but fuck it, I rather have a bit less fuel economy and power on tap whenever I want....

power, power, power, power....

My car is only making 340-360whp on 94(Dyno'ed 313whp @ 18.5psi, running 22psi now). I would turn up the boost some more and make 400+, but I would need E85 or race gas for it to be safe.
What do you drive?

Nice numbers, especially on pump! What turbo are you running on what car? Depending how much more air it can handle I'd add a meth kit and bump it up another 2-3psi

I drive an 02 wrx, basic mods...catless 3", header, chip w/ mild street tune.

lol ok, didn't know about the tuning to higher octane thing...thought that was just race talk

and i thought ethanol damages seals in the engine? isn't that bad?

Just filled up. It's funny how we consider that "cheap" now!

below .8 is what i consider to be ok

yeah these prices are outrageous and the only thing more outrageous is that fact that everyone thinks this is cheap
