Quality of Gas/ Different Brands
i ran across this thread in the race car tech section and it was pretty interesting.
https://www.rx7club.com/race-car-tech-103/shell-chevron-76-a-565719/
does anyone have any information about the differences in quality across the different brands in our area?
is there any way to test the actual quality of gas? in a lab or at home.

heh, at home test... Does it ignite? **** yeah! boom!
My big question is which gas stations are using a high ethanol volume in their gas. Wawa uses greater then 10 volume percent, thats why you see their warnings about using it in boats and so-forth.
I've noticed that when I use wawa gas I get very poor gas mileage and the car runs poorly and misfires. However when I use as citgo station I typically get very good gas mileage.

Sunoco or exxon. Quiet a few members have filled up at others with single turbo set-ups. And the first time into boost lost the motor. I have a few sunocos around me. I am willing to drive the extra 10 minutes to get good gas rather than wawa 2 minutes up the road. Just my opinion
