no one mentioned what A BAD IDEA IT IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOU SEE THE TANKER FILLING UP THE GAS STATION.i have been told this by a nyc dept of consumer affairs exec, and gas station owners as well... lots of debris and water(condensation) gets kicked up.and i doubt the gas stations maintain their filters the way they should

Octane booster would be much much more expensive and a giant pain over just using 93.

I've been using BP for the most part. I haven't done research but guys that have track cars around me say that BP has the best additives in their gas.

The Sunoco station right near my job has the cheapest 93 octane available, so I just get that.

Everything I own gets Shell V-Power, including my weed whacker (I actually used to use 109 Octane Powermist in the weed whacker because it was already mixed up for my dirt bikes, lol).
