there is a new Gasoline out that i notice...it's the 94 as oppose to the 93 that i have been using....should i switch to the 94 which is new(maybe better) or should i stick with the manual and stay with 93?

 

the higher the octane the better. before i moved to KS i was getting 94 octane chevron w/techron in KY. i moved here and can now only get 91 octane and no more chevron.

 

In Virginia, Sunoco has been selling 94 octane gasoline for as long as I've been driving(14 yrs). There aren't many sunoco stations though, the closest one to me is 45min away. Although 10min away you can bur 112 octane racing fuel and maybe mix it w/ 93 and boost it up a little...any body ever tried this?

 

You won't really notice the difference between 93 and 94 octane. There are lots of Sunoco stations in Ohio and I've
tried all their blends except economy. (Don't try that one, 86 octane knocks real bad) Save your money and stay between 91 and 93 octane.

 

i personally noticed that Sunoco and Mobil has the best gasoline. Sunoco 94 is very good stuff when driving on the highways. it seemed to give my engine a little more pep, and gave me 50 more miles before fillup.

Mobil has a nice little kick to it also.

However, stay away from Hess, at all costs...

 

if that 112 octane is unleaded and you mix it with 93 you will get an average of the two (considering you mix 50/50). ~102/103 octane. if the 112 is leaded (which would kill your catalytic converter and O2 sensor, the rating would be closer to 107 or 108.

 

even tho i put in 93 octance in my car...there really isnt much of a difference in putting in 89 and 93 at the pump(in terms of cleanliness)...there was something i read about this and the gasoline companies were under scrutiny by the government about it

 

I stick to 93....I have never put in anything but 93 and have never experienced any pinging or detonation. There aren't any sunocos around here, but I stick to Amoco, Mobil, and Texaco...

 

hows arco?? i use arco 92.. is that in the in the first class?? or is that stuff no good.. is really cheap.. but i dunt think i should keep usin it.. i love my car.. so im switchin to chevron.

I have a couple of old cars sittin around and was thinking about puting a couple of gallons of 112 straight up into the tank, a mechanic friend said they would rund like "scalded dogs" until the valves or pistons burn up! I would never even think of running 112 in my Max, not even a 3:1 mix, the fuel is unleaded but it also costs $4.99/gallon, too rich for my blood...
