moviemadness Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 the only gas station around my town is 1.sunoco with 93 max 2.delta sonic 93 max with an out of order racing gas nozzle.. (I wonder if it will ever be in order though....) 3. mobil and a lot of shady gas stations at indian reservations, which I dare not to go to. since I live right by the canadian boarder, I'll add those too. esso - max 91 or 93 I think. petro canada - dunno what the max octane is shell - v power but it doesn't show the octane level.. the station also looks super old, so I doubt the quality is as good as shell should be.. maybe it's just a 91 v powered.. not too sure.. which is the best gas?

LittleBlueGT Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I live in Canada but always get the best mileage with the Sunoco 93 when I drive in the states. In my Maxima I would get 29-30 doing 140 with Canadian gas and would get 34-35 (consistently) with Sunoco 93. Not sure about power though, but I am sure the two are related.

mmanus88 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Gulf just built a brand new facility 3 minutes away from me, and the prices are the best around. i use their hi test gas (93 octane). i'm not sure where gulf is on the food chain, but the gas seems to work pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Shell 93 V-Power or Sunoco 93. The only thing with both of these is that they share a common nozzle with the 87 and 89 octanes. So your first couple of gallons could be who knows what. Around me only Hess has separate nozzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechdiff Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I haven't really looked around but I have been usuing premium which has a minimum octane rating of 91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km580 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 In PA we can get Sunoco Ultra which is 94 octane. The other day I went to Sam's Club and got gas there. It's 93 Octane. The strange thing is it seems that my studdering problem has gotten better sinc I changed gas. I had the reflash but, like most of us, the studdering returned. But now it seems better with the Sam's gas. Fat people are hard to kidnap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusSeven Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 The LGT likes Shell 93 V-power (local N.E. Illinois blend) containing up to 10% ethanol. Currently paying $2.86/gal. The Illinois farmers have a lot of political clout (and way too much corn) so the state has a regulation that all gas sold in Illinios must contain ethanol, even if other oxygen carrying compounds would be more efficient and cost less. 10% ethanol actually reduces overall mpg by about 4%. Oh for the good old days when my 63 Vette 327/340 with 11.25:1 compression would just ping a little on Sunoco 260 (101 octane leaded) @ 29 cents a gallon!

emorphien Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 93 mobil or hess usually just because they are close to meHess for me too. I usually stop there on my way to or from campus. They have 93 as do most of the stations around here, 91 is hard to find. (I'm ok with 93) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_c_the_light Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Must be a different rating system in the US. Here we've got a choice of 91, 95, 96 and 98 octane. I used to run 91 but the idle was rough and power was lacking...now I use 95 and 96 now, I'm planning to throw in a tank of 98 and reset the ECU.
