The nozzle is oversized so it won't fit in the average gas inlet for cars. Not sure how I found that out There are ways to make it work though. Leaded gas is bad for cars with cats and it can kill your O2 sensors. Other then that its not that bad.

Its not bad for the car unless its leaded, then, as he said, it will damage your cat and O2 sensor. And you do realize that higher octane (alone) wont do anything to help you? If your boosting though you can crank up the boost more with higher octane, or if your running high compression, etc.

Amaco on JClyde and Old oyster Point RD. has Cam2.
Use a funnel..

If ya dont have cats or O2 sensors You can run it all daylong.

Or you can get VP116 at Jrs car shop, and Cams in Glouster.

If ya dont have some power, and or a power adder. Those fuels above will slow your car down and cause it to run shittier!! Fact.

The higher the octane rating the cooler the fuel burns, and the harder it is to ignite..

way2slow - WHAT THE HELL!!! where is it? is it hidden in the back of the little shack or something? I have never seen that shit.. they are way over priced compared to most places for just being pumps and a shack... I will check out the texico tomarrow.. race fuel is the shit.. especial in the winter when you get more oxygen and start pinging off the wall.. sucks to be non intercooler

You're not suppossed to pump the cam2 into your car, its against the law cuz its not taxed for highway use. so you gotta pump it into the can and then dump it striaght into your car. and when the can doesnt hold enough, go buy an old car like mine and the nozzle fits right in.

cool cool. thanks everyone. the reason i was asking was b/c the accord type r in europe runs 97 octane (I THINK), so I was just curious as to what was higher than 93 around here. gotta know just incase i import one of those suckers.

what octane do skylines (or imported skylines) run?
