in the us or japan? Well the highest u can find on the pump around here is 91...but in sum places u can find 95 or 96. The lowest here is..87. In japan so i hear people dont put nething less then 96 octane in there performance cars They can go up over 110 octane...u can get it here but its not street legal. i belive the highest street legal octane is 100, which is called cool blue from 76.

do racers even have full tanks? or do they get smaller ones made? i remember my friend from the bay reduced his gas tank so it fit just a little bit more gas then he needed to run a quarter mile (obviously his car isnt a street car) ;x

The octane here in japan ranges from 93-111, at least thats the lowest and highest Ive ever came across. On base they sell crappy 89 octane, which sucks sooooo bad when you are running high boost, so I have to fill up with off base gas at least once a month to help clean out all the crap, I also have to use octane boost our my car runs like shiat.
