Union 76 Station that according to their website carry racing fuel Competion 100 unleaded is what I use and it makes you go wow!

Recommend you blend 1/2 100 and 1/2 91, that should be enough to make a huge diff, especially if you are chipped.

1: 155 E GLENARM ST SERVICE STATION
2: 2390 HUNTINGTON DR SERVICE STATION
3: 11675 W. PICO BLVD.
4: 8300 LINCOLN BLVD SERVICE STATION Yes 12.0
5: 10951 E IMPERIAL HWY SERVICE STATION 6: 16719 LAKEWOOD BLVD SERVICE STATION
7: 12037 SAN VICENTE BLVD

Default If your ECU is not programmed to take 100 octane (104 RON?) fuel, you're wasting money and you might
find a loss of low down performance.
From my experience, I found that the best performance results were obtained with 94/95 octane (98/99 RON)
I mention RON 'cause I am not too sure of the difference between Euro Octanes and US Octanes.

Unless you remove your cats, you will have to find unleaded 100 octane fuel.
Down here we call the 104 Ron fuel aviation fuel and it has a lot of lead...

Default They do have unleaded 100, and I want to mix it with...
our crappy 91 octane (california gas sucks) to get around a 94 or 95 octane mixture.

Usually UNOCAL dealers (some) carry it, I think there is a directory on UNOCAL's web-site

Default I have the same problem here, except at the pump we only have 89 octane (93 RON) and I do the same
as you plan to do.
