Just got my new 2006 STI yae!

pirotlord · 12-31-2005, 07:47 PM

Just bought it yesterday, and I absolutly love it. I got the aspine white + silver rims. I am now in debt but it is worth it, it feels like a rocket :-)

2 questions...
Where the heck can you get 93 octane arround California. I can't find any arround my area (Monterey).
And any tips for handling an AWD car, this is my first and my other car (now dead) is a FWD 98 DSM eclipse. The STi feels verry different indeed, and I feel unworthy to drive it.

Thanks!

Welcome!

I think in most parts of California you can only get 91 octane, which is why I would never live there.

93 octane in california... hrm, good luck finding it.

generally speaking, most gas stations around CA sell 91 octane as their highest octane, although there are a few places that sell 100.

Nope, not SC... I did that edmonds.com price quote. The Sand City guy was a jerk, and the Santa Cruz one didn't reply, and on their site they said they had 0 2006 sti's. So it ended up being San Jose. I think the San Jose dealership is Arab family owned or something, lots of the people there even had the same last name.
