93 Octane in CO

Today I discovered a gas station that sells 93 octane! I was surprised to see the pump labeled such, so I went in and asked. Apparently they have it specially mixed for them by Hill Petroleum. As I have no way of confirming the octane rating I figured that I would just fill up with it today and several coming fills to see if I notice a difference.

If anyone is close by and would like to try it as well, the gas station is located on Hygiene and N. 75th on the north east corner of the intersection. This intersection is just west of Longmont, CO. This is a little ways out of my way but I am defiantly going to make the effort if it is a true 93.

There is also a 93.5 at a Petro Stop on the corner of Quincy and Parker Rd in Aurora. I have used that a few times....you notice a little difference...not much at all, but it seems to run a little smoother.

Damn, too far away for me to fill up there on a regular basis. My gas station is "under construction" for the next few months.

Hey Scott. How are things. Sorry we didn't get to catch up last night. It was a long interesting night...filled with moding cars until 9:30 and then playing avoid the cops. My car wasn't running right, but now it is fixed. Are you going to be able to come out next weekend???

Theres a CONOCO gas station down here off of C-470 and Sana FE. They have 100 OCTANE. The cars love it. They better at $5 bucks a gallon. I mix it tho. I do 5 gallons of race fuel and 6 of 91 I feel the octance boost on top end above 60 mph. You should try it once.

I forgot about that place. I may have to go down there. Kind of out of my area as well though.

There was a gas station at 30 something and Wads that sold 100 (or 104, can't remember), but they're redesigning the place. Hope they still decide to sell it.
