Trending Topics
All you guys who get 94 at a reasonable price can kiss my butt. In CA it is 1.12 for 91. I mean i can get 100 pump at the 76 station but it's like 4.50.
You guys are lucky you have an option to run 94 daily.

I moved to the Phoenix area in October and the stations were all switching to 91. I only know of one near my house that is 92, needless to say Shell is about all I buy right now.
I was out in North Carolina a few weeks ago and all the stations I saw had 93 and 94 for the same price as I pay for 91 and 92, wtf is up with that? I got 91 in Colorado because I lived at a high elevation, but close to sea level this just sucks. I wonder if we can file a class action suit against the gas companies because they are reducing the octane on premium and making our cars more likely to detonate.

91 should be fine for us in California as we are not allowed to do anything to the motor at all so we should all have the stock intake/exaust and obviously have the air pump still on right

I hate to break it to you guys, but octane is not the primary ingredient in gasoline. It's just there to improve cleanly combustion characteristics. Having one more octane (i.e. 94) probably has no detectable effect on the car. What really matters is using the fuel that your ecu is designed to use. I think stock goes for 92 octane, though as I said using 93 probably is fine, since I wouldn't be surprised is that which is advertised as 93 is actually 92.5 or whatnot.
