Most airport gas stations in Canada offer up to 100 octane. Head up to the 'Shwa airport on Harmony Rd and they should have some.
Cheers!

I hear u MX-3 Freak, point noted.MX3-Freak wrote:Sigh. . .higher octane in a stock mx-3 is a waste of money (period).
If you didn't notice, the guy is driving a porshce and Audi. Both are high proformance cars with high proformance/compression engines. The only reason to use high octane fuel is to prevent premature combustion in high compression engines. This is why mx-3s with forced induction and advanced timing must use high octane fuel. Our stock mx-3s are low compression and do not require nor benefit from anything but the recomended fuel. There is no denying it. Remember, the myth the high octane fuel is "higher grade" is a myth. It's only purpose is to not combust prematurely.
I'm done ranting, the information is on the internet and this site. The topic has been discussed numerious times. Unless your engine in knocking, high octane fuels will do nothing.
Just think this should be highlighted. Also, it the last weeks of having my K8 in the car, I used 87 just to see what would happen. It actually felt a bit torquier than with the 91. However it idled like junk and shot out black smoke like crazy under hard acceleration.DJ wrote:In the manual for the V6 it calls for atleast 91.
Anyone else run 87 at all? What are the effects?mazdubber wrote:Just think this should be highlighted. Also, it the last weeks of having my K8 in the car, I used 87 just to see what would happen.
