What octane is everyone using?

[fivedollarcouch]

in las vegas, so the best we get here is 91
we do have a couple rebel stations in town with 100 octane so i could always mix to get up to 93. but for now i am stock and running on 91

15 people are using 89 octane or lower?!? Why???

Because they're cheap.

 

[Perfblue15]

I personally run e40 in my car, after seeing the gains and how much happier the car is I can't go back to 91.

 

[Bugman]

93 Sunoco

I use 94 octane at Petro-Canada. I really enjoy it.

First few fill ups were at 87, since I wasn't doing anything too hard with the motor during break in. Put in 93 with the last fill up, if I don't feel any difference, or see a huge mpg difference, I'll likely go with 87 most of the time, as it's $0.80/gal cheaper.

Almost all Toronto, Petros have it, I'm just wondering if petro 94 meets COBBS 93 requirement? Heard that petro 94 is 91 with octane booster thats why I ask.

I've only had Bender for a week, and I filled up with 91. I haven't seen 93 octane yet near Long Beach, CA. I may fill up with 87 octane next tank to see if there's a difference in mileage.

93 V-Power

The Shell station next to me has 20 cents off per gallon every Tuesday for 93 octane, so I go for that.

Is that a local special ?

Yeah I'm sure it is. I haven't seen it advertised in neighboring cities, but the Shell right next to my apartment does it as does the one down the street.

Reporting in from Milton Ontario..

For research purposes I tried 3 different types of fuel.

87 Octane from Petro Canada - This fuel is garbage for the ST. you can literally watch your fuel gauge drop as you drive and the idle is weird

Ultra 94 from Petro Canada- Not a bad fuel at all. Fuel Economy is not bad but not that good either. I got about 6 days out of this tank and it was about 80KM per day while using this one.

V-Power Nitro plus from Shell- This was the best gas I have used so far. I got 11 days out of my tank and was commuting daily. Idle was smooth and quiet and the engine performance felt better overall no matter what speed I was going.

Want to add Shell Vpower Nitro is 0% ethanol 91 octane. Everything else has up to 15% ethanol. Last tidbit the nitro until mid september 2015 in Canada has 20x airmiles.

 

[rexdriver85]

Oh, good info. So Nitro+ is only 91 octane huh?

 

[therealandrew]

Yes, Apologies for not adding that Shell V Power Nitro is only 91 Octane. and Yes the Airmiles deal rocks if you are a frequent travel person.

 

[Hijinx]

If you're in the U.S., I'm sure Nitro+ comes in 93. It does everywhere around me in Illinois.
