Yeah I'm sticking with 100 octane it seems like the best choice.

talk to IPS they want to do a LS1 rx8

Gas May Soon Cost a Sawbuck Big New Shock at the Pump Forecast by Two Analysts By DAN DORFMAN, Special to the Sun | April 28, 2008 Get ready for another economic shock of major proportions — a virtual doubling of prices at the gas pump to as much as $10 a gallon. * Separator * Comment * Share * Print * email * Separator A customer pumps gas in Los Angeles, where self-serve regular gasoline exceeds 4 dollars a gallon. AP/Reed Saxon Click to enlarge> A customer pumps gas in Los Angeles, where self-serve regular gasoline exceeds 4 dollars a gallon. That’s the message from a couple of analytical energy industry trackers, both of whom, based on the surging oil prices, see considerably more pain at the pump than most drivers realize. Gasoline nationally is in an accelerated upswing, having jumped to $3.58 a gallon from $3.50 in just the past week. In some parts of the country, including New York City and the West Coast, gas is already sporting a price tag above $4 a gallon. There was a pray-in at a Chevron station in San Francisco on Friday led by a minister asking God for cheaper gas, and an Arco gas station in San Mateo, Calif., has already raised its price to a sky-high $4.62. In Manhattan, at a Mobil gas station at York Avenue and East 61st Street, premium gas is now $4.03 a gallon. Two days ago, it was $3.96. Why such a high price? “Blame the people at STOPEC (he meant OPEC) and the oil companies,” an attendant there told me. These increases are taking place before the all-important summer driving season, signaling even higher prices ahead. That’s also the outlook of the Automobile Association of America. “As long as the price of crude oil stays above $100 a barrel, drivers will be forced to pay more and more at the gas pump,” a AAA spokesman, Troy Green, said. Oil recently hit an all-time high of nearly $120 a barrel, more than double its early 2007 price of about $50 a barrel. It closed Friday at $118.52. The forecasts calling for a jump to between $7 and $10 a gallon are based on the view that the price of crude is on its way to $200 in two to three years. Translating this price into dollars and cents at the gas pump, one of our forecasters, the chairman of Houston-based Dune Energy, Alan Gaines, sees gas rising to $7–$8 a gallon. The other, a commodities tracker at Weiss Research in Jupiter, Fla., Sean Brodrick, projects a range of $8 to $10 a gallon. While $7–$10 a gallon would be ground-breaking in America, these prices would not be trendsetting internationally. For example, European drivers are already shelling out $9 a gallon (which includes a $2-a-gallon tax). Canadians are also being hit with rising gas prices. They are paying the American-dollar equivalent of $4.92 a gallon, and they’re being told to brace themselves for prices above $5.65 a gallon this summer. Early last year, with a barrel of oil trading in the low $50s and gasoline nationally selling in a range of $2.30 to $2.50 a gallon, Mr. Gaines — in an impressive display of crystal ball gazing — accurately predicted oil was $100-bound and that gasoline would follow suit by reaching $4 a gallon. His latest prediction of $200 oil is open to question, since it would undoubtedly create considerable global economic distress. Further, just about every energy expert I talk to cautions me to expect a sizable pullback in oil prices, maybe to between $50 and $70 a barrel, especially if there’s a global economic slowdown. While Mr. Gaines thinks there could be a temporary decline in the oil price, he’s convinced an overall uptrend is unstoppable. In fact, he thinks his $200 forecast could be conservative, and that perhaps $250 could be reached. His reasoning: a combination of shrinking supply and increasing demand, especially from China, India, and America. Mr. Brodrick’s $200 oil forecast is largely predicated on a combination of pretty flat supply and rip-roaring demand. Other key catalysts include surging demand in China and India, where auto sales are booming, and major supply disruptions in Nigeria and also in Mexico, our second-largest source of oil imports, where oil production has fallen off a cliff. More factors include the ever-present danger of additional supply disruptions from volatile countries in the Middle East that are not our allies, and the unwillingness of SUV-loving Americans to trim their unquenchable thirst for foreign oil. Likewise, for the first time, emerging markets this year will use more oil than America. To Mr. Brodrick, it all adds up to an ongoing energy bull market. His favorite plays are the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund ; United States Natural Gas Fund LP; Apache Corp.; Occidental Petroleum; Anadarko Petroleum, and Schlumberger.

http://www.nysun.com/news/business/gas-price-may-soon-cost-sawbuck Thats some scary stuff right there. 4.62 is just plain scary(Cali price). At what point do you start getting worried. I know 10$ a gallon would cause me some stress.

Yes but I don't have a stock turbo and I know I can coax another lb or 2 out of the car. I can run 110 also I just thought c16 was the one everyone used. Worst case I will just run 100octane. My main reason for higher octane is just to get a little more timing/boost out of it.

I really like the cobalt SS's But don't get a NA one you will hate yourself.

Will it destroy my O2 sensors in one day? I want to run C16 and some more timing but I don't want to hurt things.

I like jegs as its on the way. I need some 100 octane.

I'm game shoot me a pm with addy. Or you could swing by and grub us polarisers

Anyone want to meet at QSL for a cruise to the track?

getting on live afterwards is just as dangerous as the console uploads all the games you've played.

http://www.experienceproject.com/uw.php?e=206860 I laughed out loud a few times.

ok

Brandon I would like to purchase a single bottle to try it. I'm not interested in selling anything but I will give it a wirl

If you would like to socilize him with my boys let me know. You can bring him over to my back yard. I've got 3 boys all well socilized.

You mothah fusckin I hate you I want to play it so bad and I have to wait till tommorow.

for atleast 1 pass.

You and your 2.5 Grumble. Turbo #2 might end up going on before the summer is over.

+1 for quality They just did my wrx.

It seemed more like a amway bs scenario. But the berry thats in it sounded interesting.

What do you guys know about this? The mona vie sounds like a MLM setup. But the berry itself is what im more concerned with as you can buy it cheap directly from other places. If anyone has any info please post because I'm a energy drink nut as it stands. One of my nieghbors had a sign in front of there house for it.

QFT 10x over. But my wrx hardly has jack for parts in it. I don't know of very man 2.0 wrxs making that much off a simple STI turbo. It should run a solid 12. I would be tickled to see a 12.5

We shall see .

woot fixed
