I am about 15 min from the stadium. I live in El Mirage.

93 Octane. $4.09 a Gallon.

It is my family fun car... it needs to stay that way.

anything on a turbo car under high octane is going to be prone to detonation, stick ith the highest octane available.

the highest they give here in alaska is 89 and its still $4.59. When I go to the track i put some octane boost to give me the extra umph.

For the extra $2.50 that can be saved I will stick to the good stuff. I would like to get at least 150K miles out of the car before I park it in dad's back yard for occasional use. That should take me about 10 - 12 years. I still have the 1st car I drove in High School

Well I don't have an srt 4 YET, but I always use 91 ( california =\ ) gas and one of those small bottles of Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner ( aka octane booster... I hope lol! )

I personally would stay around 93 octane for a Daily Driver, just because the higher the grade of octane the quicker it burns so the less mileage you will get. You can run 104 octane without it eatting any seals though I believe.

so adding a small bottle of octane booster to a tank of gas....how high would that boost it? say u were putting in 87 or 89 octane fuel?

It all depends on the octane rating of the octane booster to be honest, I believe every 7 points the bottle says is equilivent to 1 octane rating? Someone correct me if im wrong please. Nos has a great octane booster, I believe it raises the octane rating about 2 or 3 points.
