I remember seeing a Modern Marvels on gasoline and they repeated that several times ,,, and all 93 oct gasoline is the same, so is all the 87 oct,, the additive is added just the gas in put into the tanker trucks ,there are usually 3 different sections on each truck,one for 93 one for 89 and one for 87 . jim

I run a V-Tech tune on my SRT6. He sent me a file for 91 and one for 93 octane. I have now switched back and forth a few times as I wasn't a believer there would be a difference but there really is. I don't have Dyno numbers to prove it but the 93 seems to tickle out more HP than the 91 tune does.

Is there an app you guys use to measure MPG or do you use good old math? What's the best way to measure MPG?
