Stupid Subaru... You Forgot About California.

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

Looks like the idiots at SOA forgot that that California has 91 octane gas. The STI manual says NO LESS THAN 93 OCTANE FUEL and um yeah you get the idea. Also, it says do not use fuel additives. Well, seems as though the STI's are suffering from detonation. Dosent look good.

propane injection!

:werd:

But honestly if I just shelled out 35,000 for it i'd be pissed!

[po9i]

wtf you guys out in cali only get 91?

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

yeah 91 is the most we get.

[Iceman]

darn those treehuggers =P

[01 Spectra GT-S]

don't the celica need at least 92octane? at least in Canada that is what the manal said.

[Karim]

Nevada only gets 91 also. The next gas up is 100 race gas carried only at certain locations and cost over 3:50 a gallon. We want 93 damn it!

So that's why celica 1/4 mile times tend to be higher in california. :chuckles:

[buckeye23]

Ah...high octane gas...I just filled up on 93 this evening.

[FriedRice]

haha i was reading about those dudes synthesizing their own race gas. pretty funny stuff.

poor tercel. :D

[Da Kine Guy]

Not only is it 91 but it's also got "extras" that are supposed to make in more environmentally friendly. POS piss water gas!

[F22-Raptor]

Yeah besides race gas we actually got 94 octane at every sunoco pump

Feels good, don't it? :D

[F35-JSF]

:werd: its beautiful here.............

[marcus_GTS]

I don't know where you guys got the idea that the unavailability of high octane fuel has anything to do with the environment. The Sunoco 94 Octane stuff here has LOWER emissions. Take a look at this:

Thats because cali is where the fake peeps are ... and the gays, and the earthquakes .... and the high crime ..... and the low octane gas ...... Florida OWN3S joo!

* i said this all i good fun to start a flame war*:popcorn:

[Drag'nGT]

:werd: Florida own3s me.

[po9i]

lol i was filling my auto gt with 93 for awhile....now im just using regular

[GT-Nitrous]

it's absolutely pointless to use anything higher than what the manual says for a stock application. the only celica owners in california that should be whining are those who use forced induction.

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

I need 94 BAD!

[EuGeNiLe GTS]

i have a 76 close by my houes with 100 octane.. so thats koo.. once i get afc.. ima tune for 91 piss gas.. and for 100 octane.. oh yea.. :)

[chameleon]

Hmm, sounds to me like the STI version of the WRX shouldn't be available for sale in California...

[Sirk_2]

hahaha
poor poor cali...
oh well, too bad!
And to think, i just saw a sign for 93 octane no more than 5 minutes ago
:evil:

[cool2miketlu]

freaking someone should sue Subaru, for statewide discrimination!!! :D Or make Subaru have 10 year warranty on STi for Californians so if something blows in a STi its covered!!!!!!

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

subaru... warranty... hahahaa thats funny.

[LoCore]

Colorado only has 91 octane.

[iDRIVE]

From what Ive read the detonation is caused by the ECU agressively advancing the timing.
