mike

 

u and seth, well not seth anymore, eat too much taco bell

 

Bad gas blows..

 

heh, yeah us in the NA's try find the lowest octane possible, wheres the shittiest gas at?

 

sunoco is always my choice whenever possible



kevin.

 

i maintain sunoco as it offers the highest octane at the pump...

ninety four..

ive found after a cross country drive from ca to nj that..

west of texas only had 92 as their highest to offer...

at least...from the stations available from the path chosen....

 

Amaco or aka BP

 

100 octane @ 76, Must be a East Coast thing.



Best we have is 92 here in the NW. Including 76



And best of all (NOT) in the winter we get some gasahol crap to reduce emissions... and make your car run like CRAP.

 

There are only three places that the stations can go to get their gas, after that it's up to them to process it. It used to be that one of the three refeineries made a lower quality cheaper product that citgo used (7-11) but I think they stopped that. Mostly it's all the same, some companies process it differently after the fact.



Dad worked in the gas pump/tank industry for 8 or 9 years is how I know. There may be more changes to it all now.



No one has old tanks, everyone had to change them about 5 years ago if the tank was older then a certain amount.



76 makes a race fuel they used to put on the streets, there was also a company named Tric racing that had some stations. And Hudson Brothers, those stations are long gone.
