I was out late last night and was racing some local Germans when My gas light came on. Not thinking about it I put gas in my car not realizing that it was reguler. One race later when the **** gas got to the engine and combuted at 8PSI. I melted 3 plugs. I was using Denzo IK22's. Only one was left standing. Lucky for me all the parts burnt up and went out the exauhst. I got some new plugs but for future referance never use low octane gas with a turbo. I was stupid hope this saves some of you. The only thing left on the plugs is the center pin and the threads. On the bright side I did beat the SRT-4 and the turbo eclipse that I raced. Had them both by a car when things just shut down. Car shut off and I coasted to a stop.

It's not good advice. It's a known fact that you don't run low octane gas with boost. If you don't know this, then you don't belong anywhere near boost.

What's everyone's highest octane available where they live? I understand that in Cali, it's only 91? I have 93 here, used to be 94 but Sunoco (5 min from my house) got rid of it. A haffners about 20 min from my house sells 110 octane race fuel lol.
