I was cruisin around town the other day and a thought crossed my mind, is there really a "best" kind of gas to buy? Does the techron in Chevron gas really clean up your system like it says? Also, Arco is the cheapest out here, which is a good thing since 87 octane is still like $2 a gallon out here in so cali... so is their gas just crap, or do they have some magical refining method thats cheaper than everyone elses gas?

 

i believe it all comes out of the same pipe in california, because we're commies

I would never ever ever EVER put 87 octane in my FD ever again. I can definitely feel a difference. I was at the gas pump when I noticed that I accidentally pressed "87" instead of "91". It was too late, my tank was already half full, so I pulled the pump out, added octane boost, and then filled up the rest with 91...and even then, my car was bogging like a mother f*cker

 

Sunoco 94 all day long baby!!

 

Oh yeah, and those gas additives like techron and propower, I've noticed that they really do work. Well, my car actually won't pass smog no matter what I do, but the numbers on my emissions test do look better when I use Chevron or 76 gas.



I wouldn't use Arco gas on any rotary engine. Maybe for like a honda or toyota or something. Valero and Olympian are good choices of the "cheap" gas though...since they're under Chevron...so it's pretty much Chevron gas without the "techron"

 

all ive heard is to stay the **** away from Techron if you gots a rotary. suposedly it will do the same damage as synth. oil...



Yo Turbovr6, my girls dad works for Sunoco...lol

 

we just got a valero station in my town it's like $1.47 a gallon, i'm not sure if i like. I honestly feel a difference with sunoco gas and all others, in a good way. i tried to go to sunoco whenever i have cash, but if i have none i use my speedpass at exxon/mobil.

my N/A is running on 87 only, and runs better than with 93

 

Same **** here, I just pumped out a bad tank of gulf 89. I seriously though I needed a motor rebuild, it was that bad. Filled'er up with some cheap *** **** from around the corner (USA gas) and it runs like a champ again
