MitsuStyle - View Single Post - BP 93 vs Quik Trip Premium: Real world, dyno proven results!

TheBlizzard · 08-17-2009

I have had numerous similar experiences, I always use BP 93 in my GTP since I run a really small pulley on the super charger.

One day I was almost out of gas when I left work so I got a bit of gas at a Kwik Trip on my way home. I got on the hwy and gave it 3/4 throttle, it felt way down on power for some reason, I hooked my scan tool up to it and it was knocking bad around 10lbs of boost and 1/2 throttle.

Good thing I only put $5 in it; subsequently I went and filled it up with BP93, got on the same hwy going back towards home and floored it with my scan tool on, 18lbs of boost and no knock. Doesn't get anymore real world than that. BP gas is very good, the only people that are going to be able to tell the difference is high compression cars, or boosted cars that are slightly to highly modified.

I have filled up my Tahoe all over and can't tell the different from place to place, but my GTP that makes a measly 350whp chokes and pukes on SA, Holiday, and Kwik Trip gas. Don't know why though, you would think the gas would be farely close, I mean what the heck doesn't 92 octane mean 92 octane? Weird.
