93 Octane or higher?

Anyone know where to get higher than 91 octane? The closer to Mesa the better. Thanks

Besides 91 all you can get is race gas in AZ. Think there's another thread in here about this with other locations, but I do know of a place close to me. The Valero station at 44th and Chandler Blvd carries Trick Racing gas.

I was on the same boat before I moved out to Texas from Cali. In Texas the gas is around .30 cheaper per gallon and its 93 octane! Not meaning to rub it in, more of a "I feel for you" kinda thing.

I will recommend mixing if you are going to use TRICK. Like half tank of TRICK and half 93. I used TRICK everynow and then on one of my bikes and LOVED it. Smelled great and ran awsome. Bad thing is these engines are not ment to run off of this gas all the time and it did do alot of damage in the long wrong. Valves wore out about twice as fast! Also make sure it is the TRICK unleded. (not sure if they still sell the other stuff)
