100 Octane Gas

[pbkid]

i get tricked by their damn flashy advertising too... every time i fill up there, im like 'oohhh v-power!' then i think about how stupid i am for falling for it....

although, it does seem to run nice on their fuel... shell is definately my favorite gas

x4, I try to use V-power but thats because I get tricked by the flashy advertising at Shell

Be advised that Turbo Blue types of high octane fuel may end up costing you more than just the additional price-per-gallon at the pump. Those fuels are designed to be run in (for the most part) open exhaust systems.

When the chemicals that are added to provide the higher octane ratings start to come into contact with the chemical compositions in stock catalytic converters, bad things start to happen (namely, turning you cat into a rattle can type party favor full of all the chunks of material that "used" to make up the original single piece of catalyst).

So unless you had been wanting to spend some $$$ to replace the stock cats with some high-performance replacements anyway, you might want to think twice before running that 100+ octane stuff.
