Our 1998 Z28 uses Trick 100 Unleaded. The SS sometimes uses a mix of 100/91 to achieve 94 ... otherwise it is straight 91 octane.

My Mr. Fusion runs on trash.

For high boost, no doubt race gas. On the street, probably pump gas.

You need an option for those that do not discriminate against octanes.

We around here have "pump gas" that is 105 but only at some spots, still very rare! Don't know if any other states have that?
