We can get 93 with up to 10% ethanol, or 91 strait gas. This is the SW corner- Platteville, Dodgeville,, Richland Center, ect.

Thanks Drake..........i can get the 91 pretty much without the ethanol.........cant even find the 93 with ethanol around my parts............car runs pretty good with the 91, but noticed if i throw in a few gallons of race gas, seems to run alot better.........im about 10.6 with the kre heads.

Don't mean to be picky but don't you mean 30 pack?

91 is plenty for any of my Pontiacs so I'm not sure about the availability of 93 around here. I would think that it is available somewhere though.

Are you going to the show in Omro on Saturday? Maybe I'll see you there.

Talked to my sons in Kenosha and Racine yesterday. They said 93 is available everywhere around there.

Hey, thanks Drake.............was at a show in the milw area today............they had the 93 also...........i get down that way enough, so i will fill up a couple 5 gallon gas cans with it...................might just be cheaper in the long run to buy 2-3 gallons of race gas and mix it with the 91.
