And watch out, aircraft fuel around here is LEADED.

Yes,...I think most aviation fuel used for piston driven aircraft engines uses leaded fuel....leaded fuels kill catalytic convertors..might be helpfull to those guys running a test pipe.....Al

I tried looking for those mandatory stickers on the pumps but I didn't see them last time I filled up.

My car seems to like that gas.

Any name brand 91+ octane gas that doesn't have those
pointless and detrimental "oxygenator" additives should work fine.

California EPA is a bit senile sometimes.

I think 76 is the only company that doesn't have MTBE in Cali, it is that or they are the only one that promotes the fact that their gas doesn't have it.

As for what I use, it is Cheveron as often as possible. Only gets something else if I am out of town in an unfamiliar place and even then I will do my best to find a Cheveron. Made it from Long Beach to Sac on one tank of Mobil gas though. . . That impressed me but I never see mobil up in Norcal.
