What Octane do you use? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Was just wondering what Octane you are all using? Pleas state V6 or V8 with the octane in cae that makes a difference. So far I am using 87 in my V6...don't think 89 or 92 would really make a difference.

V8 91 or better...but more important to me is finding fuel without ethenol.

GretchenGotGrowl · 02-12-2014, 05:21 PM

V6/93 Octane

Well where I live(AZ) higest octane is 91, but I wish we had 93 :/

Good thing no one voted 87 octane V8

strych9 · 02-12-2014, 05:58 PM

Tuned for 93, can't run anything less without Torco.

Indydriver · 02-12-2014, 05:59 PM

V8-93

93 in my V6. I know it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but it's also only a couple bucks a tank.

Bulldog3071 · 02-12-2014, 06:35 PM

I use aviation gas as I he e access to it at 103 octane

1olddude · 02-12-2014, 06:37 PM

91 is the highest you'll find in Utah. 91 at my elevation is the same as 93 at sea level from what I have studied.

rebelyell22 · 02-12-2014, 06:38 PM

I can tell a HUGE difference between 89 and 91+

FilibustaRhymes · 02-12-2014, 06:38 PM

93 unless the price spikes and I'm feeling particularly cheap - then I'll go 89/91, whichever the mid grade happens to be
