Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
I've found 93 very hard to find west of the Mississippi river. It's everywhere here in the St. Louis area, but the further you go west it becomes hit/miss.
The last 2~3 cars I've owned and none in our current garage can run on anything lower than 91, which means we get 93 here since the choices are 87, 89, or 93.

Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
Up here we have, depending on the gas bar brand, 87, 89, 91, and 94.
I have always wondered how long the octane lasts sitting in the tanks when prices are insane? I mean, when I let my car sit all winter I add stabilizer on my last fillup before it sits. I imagine the tanks at stations are just topped up on schedule to take care of that??

Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
I think it would depend on the station and how much business they get.
We have a couple of small local chain stations on residential roads that never seem to have more than a car or two at them and I bet the gas in their tanks are pretty old. Less than a half-mile away are several larger stations on main roads whose pumps are rarely idle. I'm pretty sure they're getting topped up at least once a week. I've seen tankers at our local Sam's Club gas station at least a couple times a week.

The original ECU is heading north of the border to get its "Masters Degree"
I chose:
-Stage 1
-no octane learning
-stock redline
-standard crackle tune
(Mid-Pipe is enough)
-93 octane tune
Also because it's the same price, when my new TPMS come in for the KN rims (also from N75) and they get installed, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s will be going BACK on!
OEM Michelins are 245/35/19's and the Kona N OEM size is 235/40/19's. I mean they have 6/32nds and aren't bad, well besides they're Pirelli's ...and aren't Michelin Pilot Sport 4s that is️️️️
Not sure when that swap is happening as those who know anything about Midwest early spring weather...it's like a box of chocolates, although it's truely trending the right way I must say
Exciting times coming as another trip to the dyno is going to be happening, I'm leaning towards the shop Savagegeese uses, it's an AWD Mustang dyno. I know it's a tool and whatever the number is is the number. Sure, everyone wants the "big number" but the correction can be factored in afterwards, telling me what my advertised or crank hp/tq trurly is...stay "tuned"
Btw...no touch-free washes since getting the 2nd knock sensor, I've just accepted that the car can't handle it over time, maybe some engineer at Hyundai can figure it and until then I'll join everyone at laughing at a car that can't handle a carwash 🫣

I would normally have thought "wait, what" but I saw this video only a week ago.

Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
I went to college with that guy, and his car was the example I was thinking of! He's joked about it on their podcast for years on since buying that car. I've heard it form a couple other owners too.

Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
Just did a 0-60 mph pull:
Previous pull was 5.79 w/2800 launch control and no NGS. This time I got 5.57 w/2500 launch control and no NGS. The tires were spinning almost entirely through 1st gear. I'd guess about 17 psi of boost here but that's max, always drops 1-2 psi
My previous best was 5.41 w/the Kona tires & wheels and my N75 Stage 1 ECU tune, wheel hoppin' and makin' about 20-22 psi, tires closer to half worn FWIW
