Best / Recommended Octane

[locktech]

93 Octane. Currently $3.89 per gallon where I live.

Shell, Costco, and whatever they bring on base. No sense in worrying about price I'm not going to stop driving anytime soon.

I've read a lot and this premium standard seems to have value.

At the local refinery all fuel no matter what station it goes to comes out of the same hose... All 87 octane comes from the 87 outlet at the refinery, and its a Chevron owned refinery. The driver (which I watched he is a friend and works for a fuel transport company) filled the tanks on his truck from one nozzle. Then he drives over to the additive tank and adds whatever station he goes to additives. And some stations get no additives he just delivers the fuel requested... So no matter what anyone thinks El cheapo gas and Chevron or Shell comes out of the same tank its just a matter of what gets added... And as far as additive goes to be honest its not much, about 5 gallons of 1000 gallons is additive... Then off to be delivered to the tanks in the ground of the gas station of your choice... But of course that's California and your experience at other refineries' are probably the same...

I want to go back to "1969" and use Chevron Custom Supreme @ 105 octane and $0.45 per gallon...

(I know it's leaded.)

Damn finally someone older than me....

Didn't you know that 65 is the "New" 45...

In '69 I was 21 and I purchased the 1969 Mustang Mach I with a 428 Super Cobra Jet engine and I always used Chevron Custom Supreme. That was one hell of a car...

I wish I still had it...

At $5.85 per gallon I can't justify running anything over 87. I stick to Irving because the Irving refinery across the harbour sells the gas to all the other companies like esso(Exxon), shell, petro can, ultramar etc. when you pass the Irving refinery, across the street are the storage tanks with all the other company trucks filling up..

One thing I won't do is buy gas if I see the delivery truck is there or has just left because they stir up the crap from the bottom of the tank.

Only 91 from Shell or Chevron for me. This is really only because I'm used to only using 91 octane due to my two previous cars (Subaru STI & BMW 135i). Both required high octane. I figure just stick with it. I had no problems with those cars.

Whatever and wherever the cheap shit is no preference.

Pretty much wherever I can get a deal. Safeway gas points work at Chevron and when I have no points, I go to Costco. I have been running 91 since new and have averaged 13.1 mpg over 5500 miles. I'm happy with the mileage...it's better than my Jeep was.
