Which fuel is "better"? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sup Ladies and Gents,

I usually put 93 Octane (10% Methanol) from Mobile or Sunoco in my Camaro SS. I finally found a gas station that sells Ethanol free gas.

However, it's 91 Octane. I swear the lower Octane 'pure' gas makes my engine run stronger/better. It could just be the placebo effect also. Thoughts? I wish I could find Ethanol free 93. Damn near impossible in Upstate New York. And yes, I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times....I'm too lazy to go searching for it.

A station near me has 93 octane ethanol free, you pay a premium of about 50 cents more
