Here in PA, we have Sunoco Ultra 94. Some fuels are better than others. I would never put some of those brands in my Camaro (Sam's Club, Giant Food Stores, Citgo (Sh*tgo), etc.). Their Octane ratings are about 10 points lower than they tell you (half water). I only put that junk in my work car because it's cheaper. I have noticed a few times as an experiment, I've put some Sunoco or BP fuels in my work car and I get better MPG. Hell, I've gotten 50 more miles from a tank. As far as feeling an extra kick in the ass from the brand of fuel, I think it's a placebo effect.

P.S. Ignore the smartmouths giving you a rough time. Welcome.
