I figured why mot see what is all available to you guys in different areas when it come to gas octane... In my area which is in the Pocono's of PA i have 94 as my highest which is available at only Sunoco. But everyone else has 91 as the highest!

I think it's 110 here (otherwise 91). I've never needed it for anything, but I 'heard' that you're only allowed to put it in a can or trailered vehicle, since it isn't street legal. Not sure if that's true or not.

91 Normal stations :banghead:
110 Unleaded Race gas at the pump (certain stations only, mostly near Firebird)

How do all you guys back east get 94 octane, and I've never seen anything over 91 (for regular gas, I mean).

Everywhere near me it is 91 the highest but at 2 Sunoco's they carry 94, its normally 10-15 cents over premium which right now in the Pocono's its 2.27 for regular and about 2.47 for premium! I know its not the highest but i hate it!

What is the point of this thread? Putting anything higher than 87 octane in a stock or even a mildly modified 2.5L or 3.0L Cougar is just a waste of money.

your joking right, lol? 87 is s#it, my cougar ran like crap on 87. 93/94 is great for the cougar and certainly not a waste of money.

Maybe you just bought s#it 87 Gas. Or you had a lot of carbon built up in your engine. Why would you need more than 87 octane unless you are running boost on your car. Unless your running a supercharger or a turbo, You don't need it, its a myth!

In town: 95 Octane
20 miles north: 107 (Marine and Street variations)
20 miles west: 110 Rockett Brand Racing fuel
30 miles southeast: 121 Rockett Brand

It's nice to live within an hour of three dragstrips, four marinas and Summit Racing.


So deal with it! :cover:

I use 93 octane in my cougar and it will run like crap at lower rpms, but at higher rpms like highway driving its smooth and I get better gas mileage as well. It is 3.71 a gallon down here in florida so about 44 for a full tank.
