Colorado road trip - premium fuel?

[Cabose-1]

Octane in most of Colorado is 85-87-91. Rarely is 89 available. Maybe out by the Kansas border.

Hopefully you were pumping midgrade, 87, and not 85 thinking it was 87.

I was pumping 87 or higher. In the panhandle area of texas i was pumping 88. Not what im used to,
But i wasn't going to put in 86. As long as it was 87 or higher i put it in

91 is everywhere

FYI. I70 is supposed to be 1 lane out by Rifle due to mudslides. And there is heavy smoke from CA everywhere out here.

Ya staying away from Glenwood area because of the slide. We knew there will be smoke out there, we had heavy Canadian smoke here in Minnesota a few weeks back, pretty much cannot avoid.

How do you like the Ford Performance tune. Noticeable gains on the butt dyno after you flashed?

Yes, a little bit. Shifts seem better/quicker. I have one of the accelerator apps on my phone, it shows that I knocked 0-60 time down by 1/2 second. I have a bit larger/heavier tire than stock, so on a full stock wheel/tire combo I assume it would feel more noticeable.

Definitely check Cotrip.gov for road closures, lots of them due to fires last year then rains this year and more due to construction.

50 through Gunnison is iffy due to construction. I70 near Glenwood Springs due to Fires and then Rains are the two really big ones.

They have been opening 50 while I70 is closed and vice versa.

And yes ... premium is available ... as well as Ethanol free if your willing to pay for it.

Thanks for the info, although not heading that far west, and avoiding Glenwood area because of the floods.
