thats a kick ass shirt (and yes i saw the subtext).
 
and MAX octane sold here is NOT 91, I get 100 at the pump it's just way spensive. :p

Oh.. so it's MAX 91 that everyone is complaining about ?


Does anyone actually know how gasoline works ? It's elevation. in Colorado they have 91 tops as well. Chemistry is funny that way.
 
But CA is not at the same elevation CO is. :p Well, not everywhere, anyway. Live by the beach for a while, you'll realize you're at like 200ft elevation, but in the mtns you can be up to about 8k.
 
Anything over a consistent 1000 feet gets lowered octanes. Less Oxygen in the air, more can be had in the gas. I would be excited about it.

At sea level, you're fighting knock all the time. If you're turboed at sea level you NEED high octane to remove some of the oxygen.
