nope 100 is unleaded anything past 100 is leaded. You can get Sonoco gt 100 here in MN but it's like $5.00-$6.00 a gallon.

When I was in Israel for 2 weeks in June, their octane grades are 95, 96 and 98. I wish we had 98. =(

100 Octane here in So Cal is $5.69/gallon. I use it in my Turbo Supra, as I boost to 20 psi on occasion. It would be a waste of $$ in our non turbo Max's.

Not 100% sure but as I know US=Europe
83=93 or 95
87=96 and
93=98
cuz US and Europe use different grade systems some kinda research octane BS. Check your user manual (fuel section) it's written there. First time when come here I laughed that US use low grade fuel but it isn't so

UPDATE ouh well i found it: us measures gas as AKI- anti-knock-index and Europe measures it as RON- research-octane-number. Basicly 91AKI equal 96RON
87AKI=91ORN.

If im not mistaken, you can fill up on 93 and get octane booster in autozone or any auto store and bring it upto like 98.

Yeah Nomad, I heard of that too. Most car engines would not last close to 100k miles on very high octane, or am i wrong.

If its rated 100 with lead it will be labeled as 100LL which means low lead. But there is unleaded 100 gas floating around in some areas

I knew it! That's the first thing I asked my cousin's when I saw how high their gas octane was. They told me, as far as they knew, they use the same grading system. Apparently not.

I guess the ultimate question is: Does 100 Octane give you a power increase?

Well...if you're using forced induction then yes. If you have advanced timing, also yes. Somebody posted a dyno showing a 20HP/20TQ difference between using 89 and 93 octane.
