I use sunoco 94, or shell 93 if there isn't a sunoco around.

To all who say, its not all the same, cheap gas will kill your car, and any other claims that are similar... I have a bit to share with you.

i use gas from a gas station run by quickie food... it was Amoco for a long time, then was sold and is now called "Petro Power" its the cheapest gas in town.... before they changed over i asked who was buying out the store and what kind of gas would be sold.... to my surprise, chevron.... i couldn't believe it... the next day when i came by guys in chevron uniforms were scraping off the Amoco labels on the pumps and replacing them with "Petro Power" and if you catch the trucks filling up the pumps, sure enough.... Chevron trucks....

I use 76 also, and agree about the ethanol statement earlier. For those of you that don't know, if you run ethanol under boost it cools. So the air is more dense which means better kaboom and a faster airflow and the alcohol burns hotter. I wish there was a gas station that runs a higher percentage! (cause the amount in 76 gas is really very little haha!)

In mom's Kia, it's the cheapest 87 octane I can find, but rest assured when the coupe is finished I will be going out of my way to an Aamoco or Mobil station for their 93 octane... I'm going to cry to be back paying $1.95/Gallon again

I figure its gas, im gonna pay it anyway, why get the cheap shit? Overall i would save, probably 200 bucks in a entire year by using cheap 87 octane. So i just make sure i cut back on wendy's and put nothin but aamoco 93 in er ;)

I always run Shell....When I can't run Shell its BP or Exxon.

For my SOHC, i get Valero or 76 as often as i can, and always 89 octane. For my SR i get 100 octane from the pump @ 76 (4.30/gallon)or whichever racetrack i go to(5.50/gallon) and sometimes 91 when there's no racegas around(2.20/gallon)

Highest we have in Cali is 91, so thats what I buy.

And I always get Shell.

Cus I like the fishie.

Petro Canada 94 Octane @ $1.34/L CAD

Is valero good?! hahaha

people always ask me why the fuck i criticize about using cheapo gas places. Alright... yes they use the same pipeline to transport their gas, and sometimes the gas that say 76 takes out on one side was actually the gas that Shell put in on the other side. It's all the same... UNTIL they put in their additives. That's what matters. I love the History Channel

yup, it's ALL about the additives. One of those additives won't allow the gas to freeze or helps at least (that's the only additive I know of, there are plenty more though).

I use chevron because the colors! And the cute lil cartoon drawings! Makes me think my car is happy =]

wheres sunoco?? i run the 93 or 94 depending on prices... sunoco is usually really good, but the 94 is like $3.25 a gallon :(

what the hell is a '76'?

76 is a gas station.

Only one i know that had a 76 antenna ball for cars haha.

This post was made back in 1/05. Now (7/06) it's $3.35/gal. Unreal

damn right its unreal. I even remember that night driftyour40 was talking about. Wish gas was only 2.25..

That's nothing.. Look what Philip wrote..(below)

That's where i want gas to be... I remember when it was 1.60 for cheap and 1.85 for premium back in 03

Looks like the average is that it goes up a dollar a year since Bush has been around.. That's insane !

where the hell are you guys getting gas for under $2? Jesus Christ it was $2.70 some odd for 87 octane in NC before I deployed. :(

before swap i take mid-grade from either shell, chevron or 76
after swap always shell V-power, maybe chevron techron once in a while, car got addicted to shell, if i use anything else, some shit is gonna happen.

i know its expensive... :(

I run 93 from BP

I run the cheapest stuff I can find, 87 because I'm a cheap bastard. My Z runs fine because I haven't up'ed the compression.

I use 89 on autocross days.

usually use chevron 93 :) sometimes i have to use the discount zone gas, $3.30 a gallon...... :(

I run base 93 (at least thats what thepump says) 3 yimes a month. Once a months I use offbase "High Oku" which caost me about 70 bucks to fill my tank...

hmm, gas is gas is gas, is not really true. but some of the major gas brands do share gas, but like the posters said there are additives.
i try to stay with 76 since they offer race gas i figure their gas is probably good. but i live in cali so 91 is the best i get.

If you have turbo or high compression N/A'S like more than 9:1

You NEED to run mid - high octane gas. In a nut shell. the octane rating is how much the gas can be compressed before it spontaniously ignites.

I had a 3000gt N/A with a 10:1 comp stock. if i ran anything less than 91 it was bad for the engine because it would occasionaly combust before the piston reached TDC.

If your driving a sports car, RUN higher octane gas just to be safe. it will extend your engine life and performance.

I look at it like this. Say 93 is 20-30 cents more than 87 ike it is here. that means every 10 gallons, your paying 2-3 dollars more. so thats about 4-6 dollars more per filllup. its REALLY not a big deal if you love your car and love to drive

if you live near boating areas, the river etc. you can get very high octane from the pump, I purchased 110 from the pump a while back, the best part, we only purchased 3~ gallons, but becouse of some error and the pump was old, it kept the fuel flowing, full tank 110 octane 8~ bucks, priceless :)

Dude... Get A Grip Of That Stuff And And Sling It On The Side.. I'd Buy A Barrell !!

yahh hahaha i remmber theplace hahaha :hammer:
