...More ethanol mixed in?

More awesome, less suck. I honestly don't know what it is, but my guess is a better refining process and additive package. No to the more ethanol, current regulation limits a mix of 10%, and this is very strictly adhered to. Due to market pricing I would be surprised if anything other than non-oxygenated fuel didn't have the max of 10% inclusion.

wow, hey man I'm in blaine if you want to stop by.
Listen to the others pump is shitty enough without using the watered down crap from holiday or the mixture of shit that SA calls premium. I know there is a mobil up there, I haven't had terrible luck with shell or mobil stations but they are backups to BP.

Cool man, I'd love to. Blaine's not that far away anyhow. Should check out the 240 camber too, it's awesome! :jackoff:
Alright, I'll check out BP and Mobil. I know of the BP and the Mobil that's right down 169 anyhow, so I'll fill up there the next chance I get and toss in some SeaFoam too.

Say maybe that stock inter cooler of mine and sa gas as well explains why i got 27counts of knock at 5600 i think it was. BP Is flowing through my lines it seems to be a lot more knock resistant. Once things warm up it will knock regardless. I need E85! My Numbers were at about 16psi on a evo 3 16G

Sounds about what I'm getting. I get knock every now and then, but rarely. I upped the fuel at 2000-2500 RPM and it went away, happens during WOT or cruise in any gear. Same kind of thing you're getting?
Don't know if it's actually knock, really doesn't seem like it. Fuel at that level's around +5 to +10 if I remember correctly. Don't have Link in front of me so I haven't the slightest of what I set it at, just enough so that it wouldn't pick up any real or phantom knock at that RPM. No knock whatsoever at anything higher than that that's for sure.

Davidv with his evo was runnin either sa or holiday and was down on power by alot. He then used BP and gained like 30whp. True story this happened last summer I believe.
There was a thread about that on here, and it wasnt SA. It was some no name gas.
Enjoy bps gas while it lasts, soon it will be a little on the salty side.

Salt absorbs moisture, so basically it will be like little water-injection pellets :D

Funny because in addition to the salt, they will also be adding water. You can have salt water injection at the pump.

318whp on db's dyno.
