pisode 58 – Octane Ratings & Dragon Day Two: Let’s Get Fueled Up!

Dale Blankenship Episode 58

Welcome to episode 58 with your host Dale Blankenship (and background moral support from Producer Kodi Monster)

This week on The Cooper Cast, we're fueling your brain and your MINI. First up: Octane ratings—what are they, what do they really mean, and most importantly, what should you be putting in your MINI’s tank? We bring in MINI tuning wizard Chad Miller from Detroit Tuned to help break it all down and explain why the right octane isn’t just a number—it’s a performance decision.

Then we roll into Day Two of MINIs On The Dragon, where Thursday is jam-packed with action. We're talking 14separate runs, plus some non-driving events, including the can't-miss, possibly-a-little-hazy Dragon Cabin Crawl. If you're going, pace yourself—it’s a marathon, not a sprint (unless you're chasing a cabin with cookies).

Whether you’re a first-time Dragon slayer or just wondering if premium fuel is worth the price, this episode’s got the goods.


Special thanks to Chad Miller from Detroit Tuned.
