Literally anyone running a decently boosted engine. So like .01% of drivers on the road? Sure. For that .01% (which would be tens of thousands of vehicles, FYI, 94 is needed, or, octane boost additive is needed. Don't know why you'd think that just because a small amount if people need it, relative to the unwashed masses, that it doesn't matter. It absolutely matters in terms of how many people are willing to stock that kind of gas at their gas stations. Some will, but most won't. Most common modern way is to run 10% ethanol in your 91 premium fuel. Ethanol's lower thermodynamic potential mimics a slightly higher octane rating. So you can get a 94 rating with some ethanol over a more expensive process of adding octane. Big reason why guys with boosted engines run E85. You can run stupid boost with it. --- Suck less, Rock Moar Have I licked butt hole before? All the time. --r4xor <cite>Tupacrulez posted [p:901340951] in Things poo...
