So since everyone and their uncle made a run on the fuel supplies around Raleigh / Cary, I figured I'd ask here.

Anyone know of a station nearby to get fuel of the 93 octane variety?

nope, seen a few that are out.

As of yesterday, there was a gas station off of hwy 55 toward Angier that had only 93 octane gas.

91 octane + octane booster in a bottle or ethanol treatment

Most stations on South Saunders still had fuel this morning. Also I thought 93 octane was the last fuel type to run out (because people are cheap fuckers).

I reckon the opposite since a lot of gasoline generators seem to require higher-octane gas.

THE INTERNET ONCE TOLD ME YOU COULD PUT MOTHBALLS IN TO RAISE THE OCTANES

Gas buddy

[Edited on September 12, 2018 at 2:19 PM. Reason : ^^ naw I've seen 93 and mid-range out with just regular available ]

Thanks, internet!

It's all the same gas anyway

Your gas is fine

^^ hahaha, what the fuck are you talking about?

that assumes that they have the same capacity of all grades, and that once they start running short with limited resupply capability, that they order all grades.

i've found in hurricane gas shortages previously that 93-oct was in short supply considerably after regular was attainable. I think it's because they put their highest effort towards re-stocking the regular gas that more people use.

Most cars can pull enough timing to use regular, even if they are designed for 93, at the cost of power output. Some really high-strung, modified stuff (my old supercharged S2000, for example...I'm not sure about). and certainly not anything with older style ignition systems.
